ICRC office in Peshawar attacked, vehicles damaged
2007-02-11
A blast at the office of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Peshawar at around 4:30am on Saturday damaged four vehicles and some property, but nobody was injured as the office was closed, said an ICRC spokesman and police.

Earlier, the international aid agency said it was suspending all field operations in NWFP, but ICRC spokesman Raza Hamdani told Daily Times over the telephone from Islamabad that ICRC would continue its operations, and a security review was underway. The spokesman said a gas cylinder was lobbed into the car park, but Peshawar police chief Abdul Majeed Marwat said the blast had been caused by an explosive device planted near a geyser. “It might be a part of the series of terrorist attacks in the country,” the police chief told Daily Times. The ICRC spokesman said it was too early to say who was behind the attack. The ICRC office is located in University Town, which was a hub of Afghan mujahideen leaders in the 1980s and 1990s.
