New Delhi, December 23

A police officer and two suspected militants, including a woman, were killed in a suicide attack today in Islamabad’s upscale residential area, just 15 km away from the army headquarters in Rawalpindi.

Though a low-grade attack as compared to previous terrorist attacks in Islamabad, the plan was to attack a “high-value target,” said Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) which claimed responsibility for the attack.

About 18 kg of explosives were used in the blast.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
