SWAT:
A teenage girl, who suffered serious injuries in the Makan Bagh blast on December 4, died at a hospital in Peshawar on Saturday.
Sixteen-year-old Savera was a victim among the six injured in the blast at her house in Mingora district.
The unidentified assailants had planned to plant the bomb at the house of Kainat, one of the two friends of Malala Yousafzai, but had mistakenly placed it near another house in the neighbourhood.
The blast claimed a woman’s life, Wara Bibi, who was visiting her relative’s house.
Savera was shifted to a hospital in Peshawar due to her critical condition. She planned to get married to her cousin in January next year. It was earlier speculated that the blast occurred due to a gas leakage.

ET be a bit more accurate. "She planned to marry her cousin next year." At 16 a girl does not plan to marry her own cousin, even not next year. We know better.
