According to SP Rural Khurshid Khan, police reached the Aziz market in Bara Sheikhan on receiving information about a planted bomb. During the search operation, militants attacked the police and killed one FC official.
Five militants were killed in retaliatory fire by the police.
The police have defused several bombs in Peshawar after receiving tip-off in the past few months.
Last month, a senior official of the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) was killed while he was trying to defuse a device recovered in Sheikhan village.

I am expecting Mr. Rehman Malik to give a statement saying the Malala attack mastermind is among the dead militants. Malala case closed.
I salute the brave soldiers of FC for putting their life in danger for peace in their land. May those who lost lives in the line of duty rest in eternal peace, Amin.
