Death toll from attack highest in Peshawar’s history



PESHAWAR: Wednesday’s bomb blast in the provincial capital was the worst in the city’s 2,000-year history, as the previous highest death toll in such a despicable attack was 66, way back in 1996. Some 100 people – including women and men – were killed in Wednesday’s attack in the crowded Meena Bazaar, and around 200 people were injured. “This is the highest death toll from an attack in Peshawar over the last 2,000 years,” said Aftab Ahmed, a resident of Peshawar.
