13 killed, 50 injured in explosions at counter-terrorism ammunition depot in Pakistan

In Pakistan, at least 13 people killed and 50 injured by two explosions in a counter-terrorism ammunition depot yesterday. Provincial police Chief Akhtar Hayat said the explosions rocked the counter-terrorism office in northwestern Swat valley, which was previously long controlled by Islamist



militants before they were flushed out in a military operation in 2009. A spokesman said in a statement issued later that ammunition caught fire, most probably due to an electric short-circuit. No evidence of an attack from outside has been established so far
