10 killed in Khyber Agency blast: official

A suicide bomber detonated his explosives at the office of Islamic group in Khyber Agency on Thursday, killing 10 people and wounding around a dozen, a security official said.”The bomber entered the office and blew himself up among dozens of workers of the organisation,” a senior security official told AFP.The bomber targeted the office of the group called Tanzeem Amar Bil-maruf wal Nahi Al-munkar (Organisation for Promotion of Virtue and Suppression of Vice), in Khyber district near the provincial capital Peshawar.It was the second attack in less than a week after Taliban killed four people including two policemen in a car bomb in the northwestern city of Mardan.An official of the shadowy group also confirmed the attack and said the bomber was a teenager who wanted to kill the head of the group, Haji Namdar, who escaped unhurt.Local officials said it was the first attack on a pro-Taliban outfit which could be linked to internal turf rivalry between Taliban groups in the tribal region.
