Peshawar, Jumada I 6, 1434, Mar 18, 2013, SPA - A pair of suicide bombers attacked a court complex in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar on Monday, killing at least three people and wounding over two dozen, police said. The militants attacked the back of the compound and were confronted by three police guards, said police officer Masood Afridi. The militants shot and wounded the policemen, but not before one of the guards was able to gun down one of the suicide bombers, said Afridi. The other bomber managed to enter the courtroom of a female judge and detonated his explosives, said Afridi. Three people were killed and 30 wounded in the attack, he said. The female judge was among the wounded, said another police officer, Mohammad Arshad Khan. The attackers may have been trying to free militant colleagues jailed on the premises of the compound, said Mian Iftikhar Hussain, the information minister for surrounding Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, according to a report of the Associated Press. --SPA 13:33 LOCAL TIME 10:33 GMT
