Two hair salons and a music shop were targeted by blasts in tribal area, where pro-Taliban militants have warned barbers not to shave off beards, officials said Sunday.
Six other shops were damaged but there were no casualties in the overnight attack at Inayat Kali market, Muwaz Khan, a local security official said. After the militants' warning last month, some 20 barber shops at the bazaar in Khar, the main town in Bajaur tribal district bordering Afghanistan, had hung out signs saying: "We will not shave off beards."
