Summary The suspect was detained near Machni Gate.
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – A terror attempt was foiled after police recovered a bomb from a suspect in Peshawar on Friday morning.
The suspect was stopped during snap-checking near Machni Gate and a homemade bomb was recovered from his bag.
Police immediately arrested the suspect while his accomplice managed to escape from the scene. A joint search operation was launched near Hassan Garhi and Machni Gate to nab the miscreant.
Later, bomb disposal squad was called in to neutralize the bomb.
Security remains tight in the city a day after at least seven policemen and a passerby sustained injuries in a roadside blast near Warsak Road.
A van carrying police officials was patrolling in Darmangi Village when the bomb exploded, injuring seven cops.
Last week, the security forces killed four gunmen wearing suicide-bomb vests on Warsak Road. The terrorists were trying to attack Christian Colony near Warsak Dam, 20 km (12 miles) northwest of Peshawar.
The official said the attackers might have been attempting to enter an adjacent security installation by exploiting weaker security arrangements in the residential area.
