On 28 April 2007, at least 28 people were killed and about 52 others wounded in a suicide bombing at a political rally in Charsadda, North-West Frontier Province, Pakistan.[1][2] The injured included Interior Minister Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao. Shortly before the bomber detonated his explosive belt, security guards stopped him from getting closer to Sherpao,[1] whom he was three metres (10 feet) away from at the time of the explosion.[2]
Charsadda later suffered major insurgent attacks in December 2007, February 2008, May 2011, January 2016 and February 2017.
