At least 20 Shia persons were killed and another 50 were injured during a gun and bomb attack at an Imambargah (Shia place of worship) in Phase-5 locality of Hayatabad area in Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) on February 13 when suicide attackers and gunmen —dressed in police uniform — attacked worshippers offering Friday prayers, reports Dawn. Sources said that around 800 worshippers were present inside the Imambargah at the time of attack. The Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP, Operations) Dr. Mian Saeed said at least three suicide bombers attacked the Imambargah. He confirmed that one suicide bomber detonated his device, while another was shot dead. The third was arrested in an injured condition. The Police have launched a search operation for the third attacker. KP Police chief Inspector General (IG) Nasir Khan Durrani said the entrance of the Imambargah is highly guarded and the attackers entered from the other side of the mosque. The attackers climbed a high wall and cut barbed wires in order to enter the Imambargah. They arrived in a car which they burnt. The Bomb Disposal Unit (BDU) chief Shafqat Malik said the attackers looked like Uzbeks. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mushtaq Ghani called for the deployment of Frontier Corps personnel, saying the Imambargah is very close to tribal areas which allows easy access for terrorists.

At least four Shias were killed and six others were injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up during evening prayers at the mosque in Qasr-e-Sakina Imambargah (Shia place of commemoration) located on Kurri Road in New Shakrial area of Rawalpindi District on February 18, reported Daily Times. The suicide attack was followed by gun and grenade attack. The blast occurred when suicide bomber blew himself up after security officials stopped him from entering the Imambargah. Jundullah, a splinter group of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claimed responsibility for the attack. Speaking from an unknown location, the ‘spokesman’ of the group Fagad said that the blast was a reaction to operation Zarb-e-Azb in North Waziristan Agency. Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) leader Asghar Askari criticised the Government and alleged that it was colluding with militants. "This is the fourth attack [on the Shia community]; this Government is a murderous and terrorist Government. We have been lifting bodies due to them," he said, adding that the Punjab Government has given support to these terrorists. In an appeal to Army chief General Raheel Sharif he said, "Zarb-e-Azb should be spread to the whole of Punjab." Meanwhile, the initial investigative report of the February 17, 2015 Police Line blast in Lahore District submitted by Inspector General (IG) Punjab Mushtaq Sukhera and Punjab Home Minister Shuja Khanzada to Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on February 18, revealed that “the bomber intended to attack a police van or a top police official”, reports The Express Tribune. As per the investigative report, the bomber and his accomplices inspected the site of the blast hours before the explosion. The Provincial Police Chief confirmed the Police Lines was the intended target. “The bomber wanted to enter the Police Lines but exploded prematurely,” IG Mushtaq said.

At least 25 persons were killed and 62 injured on December 13 when a device containing about 35 kilograms of explosives ripped through a makeshift market in Parachinar town of Kurram Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), reports Dawn. Officials said that the device kept in a sack exploded when a large number of people were buying second-hand clothes. Israr Hussain, head of the Bomb Disposal Squad, told reporters that 35 to 40 kilograms of explosives had been used in the device. Two militant groups, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi Al-Alami (International) and Ansarul Mujahideen (based in South Waziristan Agency) claimed responsibility for the attack, with one of them saying the target was the Shia community. A statement released to a foreign media channel and attributed to the spokesman for the Jhangvi group, Ali bin Sufian, said the attack had been carried out against the Shia elements who were supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the Iranian government. “We warn ... parents that if they don’t stop their children from ongoing (sic) conflict in Syria they should remain prepared for more such attacks,” Sufian said.
