A suicide bomber struck AIG Ashraf Noor's car on 24 November 2017, as he was driving to work in Hayatabad, Peshawar, and the car caught fire, killing Ashraf Noor and his guard.[a] In the attack eight others police in the AIG's squad were injured as a result of the blast and they were taken to Hayatabad Medical Complex for treatment.[9]
