From the linked article:

Bomb disposal official Abdul Hameed said initial investigations showed that the bomb was planted under a motorcycle and detonated with a timer.

According to the initial report by bomb disposal officials, the bomb contained two kilograms of explosive material and was placed near a neighbourhood pan and cigarette shop.

A man and his twelve-year old son were killed as a result of the bomb explosion, which, Khalid said, also damaged eight motorcycles and three nearby shops.

Does not seem to be the characteristics of a grenade.
