A suspected suicide bomber riding a bicycle was killed on Sunday in Hub town, police said. The man, aged about 25, was blown to bits while he was riding through the main market, police official Mohammad Rafiq told AFP.
No one else was injured in the blast, he said. Initial investigations revealed the suspect had strapped explosives on his body and it appeared he was on a suicide mission somewhere, Rafiq said. The official said investigators were trying to establish the identity of the bomber and his possible links to any terrorist outfit in the region.
