Today, Monday 24 November, three suicide bombers attacked the border police headquarters in Peshawar, in the densely populated area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. After opening fire at the entrance, they entered the compound and blew themselves up, killing three paramilitary members and wounding at least five people. Soldiers and police cordoned off the area fearing the presence of other militants. The injured victim was taken to Lady Reading Hospital. No group claimed responsibility for the attack, which is part of an escalation in violence attributed to Islamist militants active along the border with Afghanistan.
