Peshawar, Apr 5 A bomb blast targeted a gathering organised by the Awami National Party at Timergara in northwest Pakistan today, killing at least four persons and injuring over a dozen others.
The blast occurred at a rest house in the market of Timergara, the headquarters of Lower Dir district, where the ANP had organised a gathering to celebrate the government's decision to rename the North West Frontier Province as Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa.
The nature of the blast could not immediately be ascertained though TV news channels reported it could have been a suicide attack. The identity of the four dead was also not immediately known.
A large number of people had gathered for the celebrations organised by the ANP, which leads the ruling coalition in the NWFP.
Several government offices are located near the rest house where the blast occurred.
