At least 12 people were killed and 52 wounded when two bomb blasts were detonated outside a district court in northwestern Pakistan on Friday, a rescue official said. Army spokesman Lt. Gen. Asim Saleem Bajwa said in a statement that the attack was quickly repulsed and that security forces were searching for any accomplices of the attackers. Pakistan's army chief Gen. Raheel Sharif praised security forces for foiling the attack. He said they killed one Christian in the colony. He said a quick response from the local civilian guards and security forces prevented more deaths.
