Shooting; mini-blast heard outside PTI Jalsa

A local news channel reported a firing incident outside the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Jalsa at Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, about an hour ago.

The incident occurred as a police van was cruising by a local market, when two hand grenades were thrown at the bus.

Other speculations suggest that two groups had a disagreement earlier during the Jalsa and the violence is in the aftermath of that dispute.

5 police men and a lady police worker have been reported injured so far. Police are looking for the culprits who fled after the violent incident.
