Bomb Bomb explosion in Landikotal bazaar, two sustained minor injuries, eye witnesses said. A bomb explosion happened near a mobile market and press club, which smashed the glasses of a nearby shop and wounded two persons but slightly, local journalist Shahid Shinwari said, who along with two other colleagues had just passed near the spot where the blast occurred. The blast was very big, they said. The people fled the bazaar after the blast here on Saturday evening.

It is worth mentioning to note that some days back unknown militants had pasted pamphlets from TTP side which had warnings for the mobile market owners and those who are running cell phone ring tone business to avoid the business or face the music, but the local administration had rejected the pamphlets as bogus and fake. Now the blast has proved those pamphlets as true, some locals said.
