PESHAWAR: At least four people were killed and 31 wounded late Sunday when unidentified attackers hurled two grenades at a cinema in Peshawar, police and medics said.
The attack on the Picture House cinema in Peshawar, took place as some 90 people were watching a late night show of the film 'Ziddi Pakhtun', police said.
"At least four people have been killed and 31 injured. Attackers hurled two grenades and fled the scene," Faisal Mukhtar, a senior police official, told AFP.
