Islamabad - A Pakistani man who was severely wounded in a bomb explosion Friday morning has accused his ex-girlfriend of the attack, an official said.
Mohammed Rashid was on his way to his office in the city of Bannu in North-West Frontier Province when the bomb exploded in his car.
'The victim told us that he suspected his ex-girlfriend of being involved in the bomb attack,' city police chief Mazhar-ul-Haq Kakakhel told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa.
