A 29-year-old woman Rafia Qaseem Baig from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has become the first Pakistani female to join the Bomb Disposal Unit (BDU) in the disturbed province that frequently witnesses terror attacks.
Rafia Qaseem Baig, who joined police force as a constable seven years ago, will work in BDU after completing her 15-day training along with 31 other male members at Nowshera's School of Explosive Handling, media reports said.
During her training, she will learn about the types of bombs, their identification and ways to defuse them.
Rafia, who belongs to a highly educated family, said a blast near a sessions court seven years ago motivated her to join the force. She completed her master's degree in International Relations.
