Aman lashkar leader killed in Peshawar blast

Five kilogram of explosive material was used in the home made device, say police

PESHAWAR: A member of the Masho Khel Aman Lashker was killed in a roadside bomb blast near Peshawar on Friday morning.

Najeem was riding a bike and was on his way to his fields when he stopped to remove stones from his way. As he removed the stones – placed by militants - the planted device was detonated remotely.

“He died on the spot and was taken to the Lady Reading Hospital,” said police.

Police said around five kilogram of explosive material was used in the home made device and Najeem was the target of the blast without any doubt as he was an active member of the local Aman Lashker.
