CHARSADDA: Two suspected suicide bombers of the Charsadda sessions court attack which resulted in the death of seven people, can be seen in the CCTV footage.
In the footage two men wearing a shawl can be seen covering their upper body, Police claim that when they were asked to take off their shawls for checking, they refused to do so, raising suspicion that they were hiding a suicide jacket underneath.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police foiled a major terrorist bid on Wednesday, when three suicide bombers tried to enter a session’s court in Charsadda. Police shot dead two suicide bombers, while one blew himself up.
A policeman Fazlur-Rabi who witnessed the attack, said that the suicide bomber was a fair-skinned young man.
He said that he was guarding the court’s gate when he saw two people coming towards the court. “One of the persons was clad in a chadaar,” he remarked.
“I called him from afar and told him to take off the chadaar as we don’t allow chaddar clad people inside the court, he recalled.
However, the man kept defying orders of the police. “When I told him it to take it off two to three times and he didn’t listen, I ordered one of the policeman on duty to shoot him,” he said.
“As soon as the policeman pointed his rifle at him, the man blew himself up,” recalls the police officer.
The attack is part of the series of back-to-back terror incidents across the nation in which more than a 100 people have been killed so far.
