Terrorists bomb 4 CD shops near Peshawar

Unidentified terrorists set on Sunday blew up four CD shops in the Mattani area in the outskirts of Peshawar near main Kohat road. However, no casualties were reported. A pamphlet was found at the explosion scene which warned of more attacks against those engaged in ‘un-Islamic’ businesses. A trader confirmed that they had received the pamphlet according to which all ‘immoral’ businesses would face the same fate. According to police sources, one kilogramme of explosive was used in the bombing, adding that no one was harmed in the attack. Earlier this month, shopkeepers in Peshawar discontinued the sale of mobile phone, USB and flash memory and other media devices after the Taliban had threatened to blow up mobile phone markets for selling ‘shameless’ video clips, ringtones and accessories. In the past, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other terrorist organisations had also warned those selling Viagra, obscene films and those running Internet cafes and CD shops.
