At least seven dead in Parachinar clothes market blast
ALI AKBAR — UPDATED LESS THAN A MINUTE AGO
PARACHINAR: At least seven people were killed and 12 others wounded on Sunday in a blast at a used clothes market in Kurram Agency's Parachinar area.
The market was bustling with people who were out shopping for clothes. As winter season arrives many people throng lunda (used clothes markets) bazaars to buy used and second-hand clothes.
It is unclear whether the blast was a suicide attack or a remote-controlled blast. Security forces have cordoned off the area and are investigating the nature of the blast.
Rescue and emergency teams have rushed to the blast site. The victims were shifted to District Headquarters Hospital (DHQ) Parachinar.
Parachinar is the administrative headquarters of Kurram Agency near Afghan border.
It is small garrison town developed by the British Army in the foothill of mighty Spin Ghar (White Mountain) in mid-1895. The town total population is about 40,000 comprising people of different tribes, races and faiths.
