At the time, an improvised explosive device (IED) had been planted at the main door of the house, which was destroyed in the resulting explosion. Khan noted that threatening calls and messages from international numbers had been received in recent days.
“The involvement of an outfit prohibited near the Pak-Afghan border, potentially with the support of certain local elements, cannot be excluded,” he said.
Stressing the possible motivations behind the attacks, he said that he was determined to use all the resources available for the elevation of Bajaur, and such actions aimed to sabotage the current development efforts in the region. “They contacted us through an international number and have put threats to stop development activities. But we are not afraid. Bajaur’s development will not stop. ”
“We have confronted such elements in the past and will continue to do so. We will not retreat from our mission to serve the inhabitants of this region,” he added.
