A suicide bomber blew himself up in a madrassa (seminary) in the Khyber Agency of FATA on May 1 injuring at least 18 people in an apparent attempt to assassinate the head of a religio-militant organisation. "I was the target," Haji Namdar, chief of the Amar Bil Maroof Wa Nahi Anil Munkar (Promotion of Virtue and Suppression of Vice) organisation, told Daily Times. Namdar escaped unhurt in the attack. The suicide bomber, aged between 15 and 18, blew himself up as he approached Namdar at the madrassa in Takya. An eyewitness, Amin Khan, said the attacker struck after Namdar had finished a sermon and appealed for donations for jihad, AP reported. "Half of the [suicide] jacket did not explode; otherwise there would have been many casualties," Tariq Hayat, administrator of the Khyber tribal region, told Dawn. Namdar later said he was not opposed to suicide bombings targeting "Islam’s enemy", but was opposed to attacks on fellow Muslims. He also said the attack could be a "reaction" to his group’s action against people who attempted to abduct the Mahsud Scouts troops in Kambarkhel earlier in the week. "We expelled those people... and the same people could be involved in the attack," claimed Namdar. Munsif Ali Khan, a spokesman for the group, told Dawn that the bomber appeared to be from outside Khyber Agency. He blamed Hakimullah, an associate of Baitullah Mehsud, for the attack. Officials said Haji Namdar and is armed religious groups had links with the Taliban and was said to have fought along with the Taliban in the past.
