PESHAWAR: Police defused explosives weighing seven kilogrammes near a police check-post in the limits of the Pishtakhara Police Station on Ring Road on Tuesday, police officials said on Wednesday. Officials told Daily Times that the explosives, hidden in a water cooler, were recovered with detonators from the Achani Payan Road. They said the explosives weighed seven kilogrammes and were defused by the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS).

Officials said the explosives were placed to blow up the police check-post at night for maximum impact as police officials are deployed to the post during night and the area is sparsely populated.
