A security forces convoy was the target of the remote-controlled bomb.
Earlier today, three people were killed in two separate bomb blasts in the Kurram Agency. The explosions took place in Shablan area and Dal area of Parachinar.
Previous blasts

The militants, thought to be four in number, had begun the assault around 8.15 am by detonating an explosive-laden vehicle on Mirali-Thal Road near the wall of a security check post in Shewa tehsil of the agency.
A roadside bomb had killed a soldier and wounded three others in a restive Pakistani tribal region near the Afghan border on October 27, officials said. The explosion had taken place at Chashma Pul, two kilometres east of Miranshah, the capital of North Waziristan tribal region.

First target of such activity must be central government not PTI. secondly we know how many Ramond Davis we have in our country, So you never know who is doing such things. PTI is atleast protesting what going wrong, can anyone answer what is central Gorvernment doing in this regard? the answer is, "THEY POINT OUT WHAT PTI IS DOING WRONG". Mr Experienced prim minister, we expect action from you.
Imran doesn't care even if hundreds of our brave soldiers or innocent people are killed by Taliban. He cares only when few Taliban die. He must have not read this news.
Fire Chaudhry Nisar. And if Nawaz Sharif doesn't have any plan to stop this, he must quit politics. Bedding with the terrorists and then fighting them can't go along.
@csmann Nope, that does not prove that. They are mere assumptions UNLESS IK admits it himself if he's with TTP or anything! It only shows IK's diplomatic skills to keep different factions of the society allied, and to change them not by war but by words!
This news should be put under a separate section called 'Jihadi lamhe'. Afterall, Its taken almost 65 years of perseverance and hard work to nurture such talent and its time they reap the benefits of their strategic depth. This is how Pakistanis dream of capturing Kashmir and it seems to be working well.
On one hand TTP is thanking PTI/IK for standing up for them,on the other they have started a spate of bombings in Karachi and FATA.Doesn't that prove that PTI is the political wing of TTP,especially since IK even now doesn't name or condemn them.
Hope Imran khan will be able to figure out if this attack was due to the good or the bad Taliban and then do a condemning accordingly. But since it was not a drone attack, it's hard that PTI's friends in JI will find these poor soldiers to be shaheeds. Never mind the killings IK. Your kids are safe in UK. Why worry?
