Bombing

On 28 April 1996, a bus picked up passengers at Kot Radha Kishan bus stop in Bhai Pheru. The bus (FDJ 9176) was overcrowded with over 100 passengers on their way to celebrate Eid al-Adha in a 52-seater bus.^[4] In the bus, a bomb was placed underneath a seat near the fuel tank of the bus. At 10:30 am local time while the bus was going through the main marketplace in Bhai Pheru the bomb detonated.^[5] The detonation of the bomb ruptured the fuel tank of the bus causing a fireball that quickly spread throughout the bus. The bus continued burning for two hours until firefighters from other towns arrived.^[6] The bombing killed 52 people and injured 26. ^[7]
