ISLAMABAD, Aug 27 (KUNA) -- A militant was killed and at least five others
were wounded on Friday in an explosion that ripped through a hotel in a
northern Pakistani district, said police.
The nature of the explosion was not immediately clear. Police sources told
KUNA that an explosion took place in a room of a small hotel in Mansehra
district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhawa province.
"It could be that a suspected militant was trying to make some explosive
material and it went off accidentally or it could be a bomb explosion", said
sources. They said that it would be premature to confirm any thing.
Sources said that the explosion killed the room guest on the spot and
wounded at least five others. It also caused damage to the hotel building.
