A suicide bomber killed 40 worshippers, including 12 children, at a mosque in a remote village of the Dir Upper District of NWFP on June 5, The News reported. Dozens more were injured as a young man detonated explosives fastened to his body minutes before the Friday congregation in the Hayagay Sharqi village. No group has so far claimed responsibility for the suicide attack. The village, located in the mountains, is situated approximately 20 kilometers east of Dir town, the District headquarters. An unnamed official said the death toll could rise as scores of people had sustained injuries in the incident. Eyewitnesses said a teenager was spotted approaching the mosque where people were preparing for the Friday congregation. Some villagers stopped the young man and asked him to prove his identity, but he refused to do so and advanced towards the mosque. “The bomber said he has lent money to a resident of the village and wanted to take it back. When he was asked to show his national identity card, he refused and moved forward,” a local villager told The News. Eyewitnesses and villagers said the people shouted at the worshippers, sitting in rows inside the mosque, to be careful as the young man was a suspect. As the people ran after the bomber to stop him, he detonated himself at the gate of the mosque minutes before the prayer leader could start the Friday prayers, they said. Reports indicated that the Hayagay Sharqi village has been strongly opposed to the presence of the Taliban militants in the Doog Darra area of Dir Upper. The residents had also established checkpoints to keep a vigil on the movement of the militants, who would use the village as a corridor to Dir town.

Five worshippers were killed and 105 others sustained injuries when a suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden van into a mosque during the Friday prayers in the Cantonment area of Nowshera in the NWFP on June 12, The News reported. Sources said the congregation was in the second Rakat (part) when the bomber in the vehicle, carrying 125 kilograms of explosives, struck the wall of the mosque near the Army Supply Depot. Two soldiers were among the four persons killed on the spot while 105 persons, including 30 civilians, were injured in the explosion. Most of the wounded were reportedly Army personnel. One of those wounded succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. While the blast brought down the entire structure of the mosque, windowpanes and doors of nearby buildings were smashed and walls cracked, injuring several persons, including women and children. The Nowshera District Police Officer Abdullah Khan told AFP the vehicle used in the attack had been made to look like an ambulance, Daily Times reported.

A suicide bomber blew himself up after he was besieged by the Security Force (SF) personnel in Kohat on August 21, The News reported. Official sources said the Police were informed that a 15-year-old suicide bomber would attack a mosque or imambargah anytime in the city. The SF personnel spotted the bomber in a bazaar with two hand-grenades in his hand and a firearm on his shoulder, the sources said. Seeing the Police party, the bomber ran away and forced his entry into the house of Inayatullah Jan in BB Pakdaman Street and took his family members hostage. Later, the women and other members of the family, except one Safdar Hashmi, were allowed to go out of the house. Eyewitnesses said the only hostage, Safdar Hashmi, managed to escape from the house and the Police party headed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police Abdullah Khan fired tear-gas shells and bullets at the house. The bomber later blew himself up when he couldn’t escape. The house also suffered damage in the explosion. Later, Safdar Hashmi, while talking to the media, said the bomber was 15-year-old and hailed from Punjab. He said that four other suicide bombers had also entered Kohat District to carry out blasts, adding that the bomber revealed they had links with Al Qaeda.
