The attackers managed to escape after spraying the vehicle with bullets. An official of the Hayatabad police station said the truck was on its way to Afghanistan when it came under attack near Afghan Market on Jamrud Road. He said the driver Muhammad Iqbal, a resident of Mianwali, along with his helper and son, Asif Iqbal, were seriously injured in the incident and shifted to the nearby Haytabad Medical Complex. Police further said they took the truck into possession and later shifted it to the police station.
