RAWALPINDI: The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) registered a First Information Report (FIR) on Monday, a day after a roadside bomb exploded near a police station in Rawalpindi, wounding at least 23 people.
A hand grenade was thrown near a water filtration plant across the road from the police station, but Rawalpindi City Police Officer (CPO) Ahsan Younas later confirmed the blast was from a device planted on the side of the road.
