LANDI KOTAL: A bomb disposal squad on Thursday foiled a possible bid of terrorism by defusing explosives planted near the boundary wall of the Landi Kotal Degree College, political authorities said.

According to details, after receiving information from political authorities that a bomb was planted by miscreants near the boundary wall of the college, a bomb disposal squad rushed to the spot.

The squad took the bomb to Charwazai for defusing when it exploded and injured one person who was shifted to the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Landi Kotal for emergency medical treatment.
