Rawalpindi: A suicide bomber blew himself up on Tuesday near Wah Garden police check post after an unsuccessful attempt to escape police after the cops stopped a bus coming from Peshawar for random check, reports said.
The suicide bomber, said to be a young man in his early twenties, was reportedly aboard a bus coming from Peshawar to Rawalpindi.
According to Pakistani media reports, the bomber initially hurled a couple of hand grenades towards the cops chasing him but later detonated himself in the farms near the area.
