SECRETEvent summary
"INCIDENT REPORT EXPLOSION NEXT TO GARDEZ ROAD 5KM SOUTH OF PULLI ALAM THE EXPLOSION WAS CLEARLY HEARD BY US YET THE POLICE IN PULLI ALAM WERE UNAWARE OF IT. WE VISITED THE SITE AND IT IS UNCLEAR WHY THE DEVICE WAS DETONATED IN THIS LOCATION. THERE ARE NO APPARENT TARGETS WITHIN 1 KM. IT WAS MERELY PLACED NEXT TO THE ROAD. FROM THE DEBRIS THAT WAS PICKED UP IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS A SIMILAR DEVICE TOO THAT FOUND AT BIBI FATIMA SCHOOL ON 20/05/04. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING THAT A CAR BATTERY WAS USED TO INITIATE THE EXPLOSION THIS TIME AND NOT DRY CELLS. THE ONLY POSSIBLE MOTIVE WE CAN THINK OF IS THAT THEY WERE TESTING THE DEVICE. "
