JUI-F leader survives bomb blast in Bajaur
Pakistan
Qari Khairullah will contest polls from PK-19
BAJAUR (Dunya Nwes) - A remote-controlled device targeted the vehicle of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) leader Qari Khairullah on Wednesday.
He would contest the elections from PK-19 on the Feb 8 polls.
The explosion caused damage to Khairullah's car, but luckily the JUI-F leader was not hurt.
The incident took place in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Mamund tehsil of the Malakand division, with the JUI-F nominee for the PK-19 constituency, being the intended target.
The incident occurred a few days after JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who also managed to survive an attack, said that the law and order situation in Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa was unsuitable for elections and that it would be beneficial to move the election date forward a few days.
