Peshawar bus blast: Sketches of suspects drawn up

Bus driver and conductor sent on a judicial remand for 14 days.

PESHAWAR: Sketches of the suspects who had gotten off the Peshawar bus right before it exploded have been released, Express News reported on Thursday.

The court also sent the bus driver and conductor, who were arrested on Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Pervez Khattak's orders, on a judicial remand for 14 days.

K-P CM had said that bus driver and conductor shouldn't have allowed as many people on the bus.

Last weeks, an explosion had ripped through a passenger coach, carrying mostly government employees on Charsadda Road, Peshawar. The attack had left 20 people dead while nearly 40 injured.

According to the bomb disposal squad (BDS), the bomb had contained around six to seven kilogrammes of explosive material and had a timed device attached to it.

The explosion had been so intense that it threw the bus far from the blast site.
