A motorcycle packed with explosives detonated in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar on the morning of March 10, killing two people and severely injuring another, police said. The motorcycle carried between 4 and 5 kilograms of explosives when it detonated, said Kashif Abbasi, senior superintendent of police operations in Peshawar. The explosives detonated prematurely, Abbasi added. He did not say what was the intended target. Peshawar is the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, which is a former stronghold of the militant Tehrik-e Taliban group, also known as the Pakistani Taliban. The city has seen several deadly attacks in recent years.
