A suicide bomber on a motorcycle struck a vehicle carrying the deputy provincial police chief in the northwestern city of Peshawar on Friday, killing him and his guard and wounding six others, police said in a statement.
The bombing targeted Ashraf Noor, inspector-general of police, in northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, according to the senior police officer Shaukat Khan who said. Noor was going to his office in Peshawar when the attacker rammed his vehicle with his motorcycle.
Khan said police officers escorting Noor’s vehicle saw a man on a motorcycle hitting Noor’s vehicle, which quickly caught fire.
No group immediately claimed responsibility but the Pakistani Taliban and Daesh group have been accused by authorities for previous such attacks in various parts of the country.
TV footage showed the burning vehicle as firefighters struggled to douse the flames.
