PESHAWAR,April 22: A homemade bomb blew up three video and music shops in a market in Swabi where hardliners believe the businesses are un-Islamic, police said Sunday.
The blast happened late Saturday in Swabi, about 100 kilometers northeast of Peshawar.“It destroyed one shop and partially damaged two others, but there were no casualties as the market was closed,” local police chief Fazal Elahi Badshah told AFP.
The blast occurred in the Gulzada Market which has some 80 shops of CDs, DVDs, tape recorders and also houses groups of bands usually hired to perform in wedding ceremonies, residents said.
