{{At least 12 people have been killed in a multiple bombing Tuesday afternoon at a movie theater in Pakistan’s northwestern city of Peshawar, a hospital official said.}}<\/p>\n

Syed Jamil Shah, press officer for the city’s Lady Reading Hospital, said at least 17 others were injured.<\/p>\n

A senior Peshawar police officer, Ijaz Ahmed, said three hand grenades hit the Shama Cinema, which is infamous in the city for showing pornographic movies.<\/p>\n

One blast was inside the cinema, and the other two outside, he told reporters.<\/p>\n

The movie theater had received security threats, and police had advised that metal detectors should be set up outside it. This advice was not heeded, Ahmed said.<\/p>\n

A witness, Waliur Rehman, told media he was watching a film when the blast rocked the building. People started running outside.<\/p>\n

“There was a cloud of dust and smoke,” he said. “The first blast was followed by another — and then another — explosion.”<\/p>\n

No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the attack.<\/p>\n

Shahidullah Shahid, spokesman for the Pakistan Taliban, also known as Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan, denied any involvement by the militant group.<\/p>\n

Peshawar, the capital city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in northwest Pakistan, borders the tribal districts that are a stronghold of the Pakistan Taliban.<\/p>\n

A week ago a suicide bomber blew himself up near a hotel restaurant in Peshawar, killing nine people and injuring more than 30 others, according to local officials.<\/p>\n
