Terrorists storm Imambargah in Peshawar during Friday Prayers: 19 dead

Militants attacked an Imambargah in Peshawar, killing at least 19 people and wounding over 50 others.

KPK Information Minister, Mushtaq Ghani, told the media that it was a suicide attack that left 19 people dead.

Three to four attackers entered Imamia Imambargah in Peshawar’s Hayatabad area during Friday prayers, Deputy Commissioner Peshawar, Riaz Mehsood, told reporters.

He said the attackers opened indiscriminate fire on people and hurled two hand grenades before one blew himself up.

“There were two suicide bombers among three to four attackers. One of them blew himself up while others hurled hand grenades. We have recovered a suicide jacket during the search operation,” he said while speaking to media persons at the blast scene.

Personnel of the army, police and law-forcing agencies (LEAs) arrived at the scene and cordoned off the entire locality to kick a counter-operation.

Reports said some of the attackers might have been inside the Shiite mosque that was yet to be cleared of terrorists.

The bodies and injured were shifted to Hayatabad Medical Complex, where several people were reportedly seriously ill.

SSP Operations, Mian Saeed, said the attackers managed to barge into the mosque from an adjacent under-construction building. He said one of the suicide bombers was injured in the shootout with the police and later died of injuries.

IG KPK Police, Nasir Durrani, said the number of the attackers could not be confirmed immediately, adding that a search operation was underway inside the mosque.

“The attack might be a reaction to the army’s Zarb-e-Azb operation underway in tribal areas,” he said.

The attack comes two weeks after a suicide bombing at a Shiite mosque in Shikarpur town of Sindh killed 61 people, the deadliest sectarian incident to hit the country in nearly two years.
