ISLAMABAD: The Tehrik-i-Taliban (TTP) on Monday denied carrying out a roadside bomb attack on a police convoy escorting foreign ambassadors that killed a policeman.
The TTP in a statement said it had "nothing to do with the attack" in Swat, which also wounded three other officers. The convoy of more than 10 foreign ambassadors was passing through the picturesque town of Malam Jabba in the Swat district when it was hit by a roadside bomb.
Top diplomats from Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Portugal, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Indonesia and Vietnam were part of the convoy.
In a statement, the Russian embassy said its ambassador was taking part in the trip along with several other ambassadors. The foreigners were unhurt in the incident and later returned to Islamabad, Pakistan's foreign office said on Sunday.
Police officials said the trip was organised by Islamabad and Swat’s Chamber of Commerce to promote the region´s local industries, including handicrafts and gemstones.
