Well this time again was a scary bang, as hardly half KM away from my office.
3 dead, many injured. 2 suicide bombers on a motorcycle, which seems to have blown prematurely before the intended target.

You have no idea how we pass a day and how is it like to live in such fear and situation, but its life, one bomb blast takes place, people don't come out for 2 days, then life as normal, people are now getting used to it, but atleast for last few weeks the big ones have stopped, and hope so they keep stopped. But our spirits are high, but feel sorry for those who lose loved ones, you never know when we will be lost.
Allah Pakistan ki and us mae rehnay waloon ki hifazat farmayee, Ameen, Suma Ameen.
and all members bros, if i don't show online for a week or so, think of me to be with Allah mian ji, so do pray for me then as would be needing badly all of your prayers to get a visa for janat

Suicide bomber kills four in Pakistan's Peshawar
By Lehaz Ali (AFP) 1 hour ago
PESHAWAR, Pakistan A suicide bomber targeted a security checkpoint in Pakistan's Peshawar on Thursday, killing four people in the second such attack in as many days in the flashpoint northwestern city.
Attacks are escalating in the city of 2.5 million people on the edge of Pakistan's tribal belt on the Afghan border, an area Washington brands the most dangerous place on Earth and the chief sanctuary of Al-Qaeda.
The bomber targeted a checkpoint in the army cantonment, blowing himself up on one of Peshawar's busiest areas, outside a government office and a church, where Pakistan's Christian minority were preparing to celebrate Christmas.
"The suicide bomber was trying to cross the checkpoint. He was on foot. Police stopped him and he blew himself up," Mohammad Karim Khan, a senior police officer, told AFP.
"There is one policeman and three passers-by among the dead," he added.
Administration officials said more than 10 people were wounded and witnesses said they saw injured people lying bloodied on the ground under a thick cloud of smoke that spewed into the sky after the blast.
Bashir Ahmed Bilour, a cabinet minister in the North West Frontier Province government, confirmed the death toll from the suicide attack.
"We will never bow down to them, we will continue our fight till this curse is completely eliminated," he told reporters.
The Taliban have stepped up strikes this year to avenge Pakistan military operations to eradicate their northwest strongholds and Thursday's attack came two days after a teenage suicide bomber attacked a press club in Peshawar.
It was an unprecedented assault on the media in Pakistan, killing three people and forcing the government to promise drastically improved security measures for the local press -- which have received threats from the Taliban.
Peshawar's is on the frontline of Pakistan's two and a half year campaign of suicide and bomb attacks waged by Islamist militants who have carved out havens in the northwest and who oppose Islamabad's alliance with the United States.
On December 7, a suicide bomber struck outside a court in Peshawar, killing 11 people and on October 28, a huge car bombing ripped through a Peshawar market killing 125 people in the worst attack in Pakistan in two years.
Militant attacks have killed more than 2,700 people since July 2007 and Washington is pressuring Pakistan to do more to crack down on Al-Qaeda and stop insurgents crossing the border to attack Western troops in Afghanistan.
Pakistan's military is engaged in multiple offensive across the tribal belt, but government attention has been distracted with four cabinet ministers facing legal action after a court annulled an amnesty protecting them from charges.
