Twin suicide bombings kill 11 in Peshawar

Lahore, Oct. 16 (ANI): Two deadly bomb blasts on Friday left 11 people dead and 15 injured in Pakistan's north-western city, Peshawar.

Three police officers, two women and two children were among those killed in the twin bomb attack.

The suicide attack comes amid tight security measures after about 40 people were killed in Lahore and the north-west on Thursday.

Just like Rawalpindi's GHQ terror attack, the latest bombing appeared to be aimed directly at Pakistan's police services, BBC reports.

At least 160 people have died in a series of terror attacks across Pakistan following a threat by the Pak-Taliban that it would take revenge of the death of its leader Baitullah Mehsud. (ANI)
