Bomb kills women, child in Bara

PESHAWAR: Two women and a child were killed on Wednesday when a bomb ripped through their vehicle in Bara, officials said.

The blast took place on the outskirts of Bara, a restive town of Khyber district bordering Afghanistan.

"At least two women and a child were killed and five others were wounded in a bomb blast," Khyber's administrator Mutahir Zeb Khan told AFP.

The bomb was planted on the roadside and detonated remotely as the pick-up vehicle carrying the passengers passed, he said. The target was unclear.
