The truck was on its way to Swat, through the Nowshera-Mardan road, according to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Cantt Akhtar Ali.
Police officials have arrested two men after investigating the case.
Earlier this week, explosives were planted in a state-run all-boys school by unidentified militants. Since the first such attack on June 21, 2011, around 12 schools have been targeted in the region, with no militant group claiming responsibility.
The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa region saw the deadliest attack this year when a suicide bomber killed 27 people and injured 55 in Mardan.

Dear Editor, Is that the actual picture and the license plate of the truck caught carrying the explosive or a file photo? If it is not, i am sure you know very well, the right course of action required.
We congratulate the Pakistani Security Forces on seizing this explosive-laden truck. It is scary to think what could have happened if the perpetrators had succeeded in meeting their evil objective. These attempts to orchestrate acts of terror prove the need to remain vigilant against those who are working against our peace efforts in the region. We are working hard on both sides of the border to prevent these terrorists from carrying forward their terrorist activities. We share a common goal in regards to stabilizing the region. We refuse to bow down to these terrorists and hope to continue our partnership for the sake of achieving our peace objectives.
