10 killed in violent incidents in Pakistan

At least 10 people, including two bomb disposal officers, were today killed in two separate incidents in Pakistan’s restive northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

In the first attack, at least eight people were killed and 10 others injured when a suicide bomber targeted a pro-
government tribal elder in the province.

The bomber rammed his motorcycle with the vehicle of tribal elder Habibullah Wazir in Hangu district bordering
Kurram agency, police officer Sajjad Khan said.

The condition of Habibullah is yet to be confirmed.

The injured were shifted to Hangu’s District Headquarter Hospital.

No militant group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.

In the second incident, two officials of the bomb disposal squad were killed while defusing an explosive device at a
school in Swabi district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, officials said.
