Security forces foiled a suicide bombing attempt early Monday morning in Nowshera and arrested the would-be bomber, the ISPR said in a statement. The ISPR statement said a youth, aged 17 or 18 years, reportedly wearing a jacket packed with 10-15 kilogrammes of explosives, was spotted by two junior officers of the School of Artillery, when he was about to target a forces' convoy. The officers "daringly got hold" of the youth, the statement said. However, senior police official Akhtar Ali told AP, "Swift action by the police yielded the arrest of the boy."
