Suicide blast targets Qazi Hussain Ahmed’s convoy in Mohmand Agency

A female suicide bomber on Monday blew herself soon after former Jamaat-e-Islami chief Qazi Hussain Ahmad’s convoy passed through the Ghaiba Khwar area in the Haleemzai tehsil, Mohamand Agency.

According to the reports, at least three persons including the JI leader’s bodyguard were injured in the incident.

Political Administration Official Shamsul Islam while speaking to the media said that the JI’s former chief was on his way to Haleemzai tehsil to address party activists and administer the oath from the new inductees of the party.

A party official however said that Qazi Hussain Ahmed remained safe in the explosion. He added that after the explosion, security forces along with paramilitary troops reached the site and cordoned off the area.

Medical Superintendent Dr Jehangir at Ghalanai Headquarters Hospital said that three injured persons, hailing from Peshawar, Swabi and Mohmand were brought to the hospital and were administered with initial treatment. They were now in stable condition, he added.

Earlier in October, eight people, including police personnel, were injured in two explosions in Swabi district, when Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Ameer Haider Khan Hoti’s motorcade was passing through Mall Road, a kilometre away from the city of Swabi.

Hoti was on his way to inaugurate the Swabi-Jehangira Road, when a stationary motorcycle exploded moments after the convoy sped past.
