Press Trust of India Peshawar
Four people, including three policemen, were injured when a bomb exploded inside a police compound in the capital of Pakistan's Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province today.

The explosive device, attached to a motorcycle, went off with a loud bang in the parking lot of Gulfat Hussain Shaheed police station located in the congested Hashtnagri Bazar of Peshawar.

Rescue teams rushed to the spot and took the injured to Lady Reading Hospital.

The police station was named after slain DSP Gulfat Hussain, who was assassinated by militants during a Muharram procession some years ago.

The police station is encircled by barbed wire and has tight security. It could not immediately be ascertained how the motorcycle with the explosive device was taken inside the police station.
 

No group claimed responsibility for the attack though such incidents are usually blamed on the Taliban.
