Blast near restaurant in northwestern Pakistan kills 11

2011-08-26 16:53:41 GMT+7 (ICT)

PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN (BNO NEWS) -- At least 11 people were killed on Thursday evening when an improvised explosive device (IED) exploded in front of a restaurant in northwestern Pakistan, local media reported on Friday.

The explosion occurred at a market in Risalpur Tehsil in Nowshera, located in Pakistan's Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province, some 50 kilometers (30 miles) northeast of Peshawar, the Express Tribune reported. The IED explosion consequently started a fire, making rescue operations more difficult.

In addition to the 11 fatalities, 15 others were reported injured, five of them in a critical condition. They were transferred to the Lady Reading Hospital and the Combined Military Hospital where emergencies were declared.

According to preliminary reports, the IED was manufactured with eight to ten kilograms (17 to 22 pounds) of explosive material, causing a heavy blast. Security and emergency teams cordoned off the area to conduct investigations.

Farage faces Clacton showdown as rivals refuse to stand Nigel Farage's dramatic gamble to resign as MP and force a by-election has taken another extraordinary twist after Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and Restore Britain all announced they will not contest the seat.

https://leavingmaga.org/ Dear MAGA Americans, I was a devoted member of MAGA nation for seven years; it made me feel I was part of something important: a movement that was trying to save American democracy. But starting in 2021, I realized I had been mistaken. It took me a full year to finally break away. During that time, I came to understand that MAGA is sustained by a series of myths that are intended to create perpetual feelings of desperation and panic. Succumbing to these predatory myths

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil. Instead, it'll be collected in his personal toilet system, watched hawk-like by accompanying members of the Secret Service with pegs on their nose. But what in God's name is this all about? https://w

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school, seemingly more interested in football than education. I wonder if these are the same kids the rightwing pearl clutchers insist are being discriminated against in schools? https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/jul/06/thousands-of-children-absent-from-school-in-wake-of-overnight-england-world-cup-win
