The suicide bomber blew himself up near a government rest house on Jail Road after the motorcade of President Alvi and other VIPs had passed through the area on their return from the concluding ceremony of the annual Sibi festival held at Sibi Stadium, officials told Dawn News.
“It was a suicide attack. A man wearing an explosive-laden jacket detonated it close to the personnel who were winding up security arrangements after the departure of all VVIPs,” said DIG Masroor Alam Kolachi of Sibi Range police while talking to Dawn.
The officer said six Frontier Constabulary (FC) personnel lost their lives while 22 others, including some civilians, were wounded.
Security personnel cordoned off the area after the blast.
