PESHAWAR: Two women were killed and seven other people wounded, including three children, on Wednesday in two roadside bomb blasts in the suburbs of Peshawar city.
“Two women were killed when two bombs exploded close to a school van travelling along the road,” police official Iftikhar Shah told AFP.
Hospital officials said that four other women and three children were also injured in the blasts.
Shah said that a private school van was the target and the two bombs exploded in quick succession.
Television footage showed the mangled wreckage of a white Suzuki van encircled by policemen.
Local police chief Amir Sultan said that the bombs were likely detonated remotely.
“We have found battery cells and other material at the blast site which suggest that the bombs were detonated by a remote control,” Sultan said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bomb attack, but Taliban militants opposed to girls education have destroyed several schools in the region in recent years.
i think the women of western pakistan, the ones that are fighting to get an education and fighting to work in a job they love are truly heroes i think.

The officer Shamshad Begum, targeted in the pre-dawn attack in Tootkas town, in the district of Hangu, had been receiving Taliban death threats for some time, senior administration official Khalid Khan told AFP.
The area borders the deeply conservative tribal region of Kurram, he said.
Local police official Fazal Hussain said about a dozen militants armed with rockets, hand grenades and assault rifles raided the house at 3:30am, first launching a rocket before barging into the house and opening fire.
Begum was killed along with her two sons and one daughter, and two sisters of her husband. Two other sons and one daughter were wounded in the attack.
The Taliban are engaged in a campaign of violence against security forces in Pakistan, a key ally in the US-led “war against terror”, and had recently sent Begum letters warning her to quit her job.
The militants entrenched in the tribal region on the Afghan border oppose jobs and education for women.
Around 4,000 people have died in suicide and bomb attacks across Pakistan since government forces launched an attack against militants in a mosque in Islamabad in 2007.
The bombings have been blamed on terror networks linked to the Taliban and al-Qaeda.
A suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden car into a mosque in nearby Bannu](http://www.dawn.com/2011/01/12/bomb-at-bannu-police-station-kills-several.html) on Wednesday, killing 18 people, and wounding 17 others.
The Taliban claimed the attack in revenge for US drone strikes on the rugged tribal areas. http://www.dawn.com/2011/01/14/female-police-officer-shot-dead-in-hangu.html
even if she got threats she still stayed in the job as constable doing what she loved and protecting citizens of her city. May she rest in peace, a salute to her
