A policeman was martyred while three were injured on Sunday when their vehicle, part of a convoy escorting dignitaries from 12 countries, was caught in an explosion on Malam Jabba Road in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Swat district, police said.
Swat Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Muhammad Ali Khan told
Dawn.com that
delegations from Indonesia, Portugal, Kazakhstan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Turkmenistan, Vietnam, Iran, Russia, and Tajikistan were part of the convoy.
“As a result of the blast, Constable Burhan has embraced martyrdom, while three other policemen, including Sub-Inspector Sar Zameen, Constable Amanullah, and Constable Habib Gul, have sustained injuries,” Khan said.
He added that a heavy contingent of police had reached the incident site and relief work was underway, adding that the affected area had been cordoned off, while the police had started a search operation to look for suspects.
According to the DIG, the explosion was caused by a remote-controlled improvised explosive device (IED). “All the ambassadors remained safe in the attack and had been shifted to a safe place before their departure to Islamabad,” the DIG told
Reuters. The diplomats were visiting the area at the invitation of a local chamber of commerce.
No one has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.
