Pakistan: Frequent grenade attacks trigger concerns

An increase in recent grenade attacks has triggered concerns among the residents as well as the law enforcers in the provincial metropolis.

The prime target of the grenade attacks remained the police force.

However, explosives were also lobbed inside houses allegedly by the extortionists, and in some cases by the rivals.

On Monday night, a hand grenade was lobbed into the office of Superintendent of Police (SP) Saddar on Kohat Road that did not go off. The explosive was defused by the bomb disposal experts.
