MULTAN, Dec. 09: The chain of carnage spread downwards Tuesday after hitting the upper areas of country as the terrorists struck Multan this time, killing at least 10 persons including two members of an intelligence agency and themselves besides injuring 43 others. Two suicide bombers blew an ex
plosive-laden loader vehicle up as the army jawans thwarted their attempt to enter a building on Qasim Bela Road, said ISPR. The building is stated to be the headquarters of country’s supreme spy agency. “The target of the terrorists was an army building. They fired two rockets at the pickets established by police and army to make their way. However, the army jawans fought bravely and prevented a massive destruction by sacrificing their lives,” Commissioner Multan division Syed Muhammad Ali Gardezi told the journalists at the spot. The DIG Multan Range Arif Ikram told the journalists that 800 to 1000 kilogram explosive material was used in the blast. “It was a Hyundai loader vehicle. We’ve recovered its parts besides some mobile SIMs from the spot. Investigations are underway,” he added. “I saw a terrorist carrying a rocket launcher on his shoulder and coming towards the checkpost. He was attired in militia-coloured clothes,” sources quoted a constable Kashif Faisal, who was deployed at the attacked police post, as telling the police high-ups. He jumped into the bunker along with three other cops to save life. Though all the four cops got buried under a wall that collapsed on their bunker after the rocket fire, all of them survived the attack. The blast caused a 10-foot deep and 31-foot wide hole in the earth besides badly damaging at least 25 houses and partially damaging the targeted building around the site. The law-enforcement agencies recovered the head and arm of a suspected suicide bomber, a live hand-grenade, a rocket-launcher, splinters of bombs and parts of a Kalashnikov from the blast site besides arresting four suspected persons from adjoining areas.
