Twelve persons, including a journalist, were killed while 39 others sustained injuries on January 19 when a suicide bomber targeted the tribal Khassadar force in the Karkhano Market of Khyber Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), reports The News.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants stormed the Bacha Khan University in Charsadda District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) on January 20, killing at least 21 persons and causing injuries to 35 others, reports The News. Victims included 17 students, two gardeners, a caretaker and a professor, adds BBC. Eyewitnesses said the four attackers broke into the university from the back by using the sugarcane fields as a cover, adds Dawn. They cut the barbed-wire that fenced the university perimeter and then shot dead a security guard. The militants made it to the hostels and other buildings amid thick fog and began killing people randomly. “The police, army personnel and security guards on duty responded promptly to engage the attackers. However, the terrorists kept hiding and hurling grenades while taking advantage of the thick fog,” Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Mardan Range, Mohammad Saeed Wazir, who led the operation said. “Our cops fought bravely to shoot dead all the four attackers one by one. They were wearing suicide jackets but none of them could succeed in blowing himself up,” DIG Police Saeed Wazir maintained.The mastermind of the December 16, 2014, Army Public School (APS) Peshawar attack, Khalifa Umar Mansoor alias Aurangzeb, of the TTP Geedar faction has claimed the attack through a post on his Facebook page, adding that four attackers were sent to the university, reports The News. However, the ‘central spokesperson’ Muhammad Khorasani denied any involvement in the attack. Refuting Khalifa Umar Mansoor’s claims, Khorasani in an email sent to media men said, “The TTP and its amir Maulana Fazalullah have nothing to do with the attack.” “We consider these youth studying in non-military educational institutes as our future, they are Muslims and their protection is our responsibility,” he stated. “Those people who used the name of the Taliban in the attack will be tried in Sharia courts,” the email added.

="Medium Grid 3 AccPakistan has asked Washington to drone Mullah Fazlullah and others involved in terrorist activities, including the most recent Bacha Khan University attack, The News reported January 23. Security official sources said that Washington has been conveyed through its Islamabad mission that it must play its role in targeting the TehreekeTaliban Pakistan (TTP) terrorists, who are using the Afghan soil for their nefarious designs against Pakistan. The US authorities have been told that they should at least now be serious in targeting the TTP men in Afghanistan as Kabul continues to be under the influence of New Delhi. India is said to be involved in destabilising Pakistan. Only a few months back, Islamabad had shared dossiers of Indian involvement with the UN and Washington.
