A suicide bomber on Friday targeted a senior police commander in the northwestern city of Peshawar, killing at least six people and wounding 11 others, officials said.

A security official said Abdul Majeed Marwat, commander of the paramilitary Frontier Constabulary for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, survived the attack and was taken to a military hospital with "only scratches".
"It was a suicide attack, the target was the FC commander," police official Arshad Khan told AFP.
Witnesses said the suicide bomber was on foot and blew himself up when the convoy of the police chief stopped at a military checkpost in the busy cantonment area of Peshawar.
"We have received six dead bodies, including two women. Eleven people were also injured," Sayed Jameel Shah, a spokesman for Peshawar's main Lady Reading Hospital, told AFP.
Shah said the injured included four paramilitary personnel. An AFP reporter saw a pair of legs, presumed to be that of the bomber, at the site.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility but police, soldiers and paramilitary units are frequently targeted by domestic Taliban, who have been fighting an insurgency since July 2007.
Violence has been on the rise in the northwest as Pakistan prepares to hold historic elections on May 11. The vote will mark the first democratic transition of power in Pakistan, which has been governed by four military rulers.
There are fears that rampant insecurity could prove a major challenge for the elections, not least in Peshawar, a key electoral battleground and home to 2.5 million on the edge of the tribal belt, a Taliban and Al-Qaeda stronghold.
The relatively nearby Tirah Valley has offered Tehreek-e-Taliban a new base in the tribal district of Khyber, beyond the reach of ground troops and posing a heightened threat to Peshawar.
On Tuesday a girls' school teacher was shot dead in Khyber and last Saturday a suicide attack killed 17 soldiers in North Waziristan, the most notorious of the seven districts that make up the semi-autonomous tribal belt.
On March 21, a car bomb killed 15 people at Jalozai, the country's largest refugee camp, as scores of people queued for rations, just outside Peshawar.
Pakistan says more than 35,000 people have been killed as a result of terrorism in the country since the 9/11 attacks on the United States.

Why is every attack around you or your office.....stay somewhere safe !!! ..

Not around me but the area is sensitive one . the road leads to Corp headquarters, governor house, US consulate, High court, Provincial assembly.

and so on.

I honestly don't know , but was the arrival of the FC commander announced or well known ?, glad he is safe ....

the FC commander passes on from this road every day at a certain time and everyone knows because th FC people conduct a tango when he is coming.

i mean the road is blocked and all traffic just stops unless his vehilce passes the road.

 

[KRAIT]

@Spring Onion You are indeed a strong person. May the dead rest in peace.

 

[Jango]

I honestly don't know , but was the arrival of the FC commander announced or well known ?, glad he is safe ....

The movements of these VIPs is known by the people of the area, same route everyday, besides alot of security mwovement is seen before their arrival.

Yeh to kuch nhn, when the COAS arrives, the whole place seems like a quarantine zone, organized frenzy ensues, people running here and there...soldiers everywhere, climbed upon trees to dug in inside rain drains!
