ISLAMABAD: The Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) on Friday defused a bomb found outside the residence of former MNA Anjum Aqeel Khan who belongs to the ruling Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) party, DawnNews reported.
Some unknown persons had placed a suspicious bag outside the residence of the former lawmaker located in sector E-11 of the federal capital city, DawnNews quoted an official of the Islamabad police as saying.
The policeman added that upon receiving the information, police and security teams reached the site and the Bomb Disposal Squad was also summoned.
BDS personnel recovered the bomb from the bag and defused it.
At least half a kilogram of explosive material was used in the making of the bomb which was also fitted with a mobile phone detonator.
