Four worshippers were hurt by a bomb explosion at a mosque on Friday during Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam ( JUI) district chief Maulana Abdullah Nadeem’s Jamiat prayers in South Waziristan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The blast occurred at 1:45 p.m. ( local time ) at the Maulana Abdul Aziz Mosque on Azam Warsak Bypass Road, according to the news agency ANI. The temple’s church was planted with an IED, according to area police officer Asif Bahader, Dawn-reported.
According to Bahader,” Abdullah Nadeem, the city chief of JUI, was critically hurt in the blast,” Bahader claimed. He added that Shah Behran, Mullah Noor, and Rehmanullah, three additional wounded people, all sustained minor wounds.
All patients were soon transported for medical care to Wana’s district office doctor.
According to Bahader,” The authorities have even reached the webpage of the explosion and are gathering evidence,” adding that an investigation was being conducted.
During Friday prayer, when large congregations gather, mosques in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa regularly targeted, according to ANI.
At the Darul Uloom Haqqania convent in Nowshera, a suicide blast just last month claimed the lives of six persons, including JUI-S head Maulana Hamidul Haqqani, and injured 15 another.
A bomb went through a dome in Peshawar’s Police Lines place on January 30, 2023, in a more deadly harm, injuring at least 59 people and injuring 157 people, according to Dawn. The KP health ministry reported that the death toll eventually reached 101. Nearly 400 believers, mostly police officers, were present when the suicide bomb detonated the munitions inside the dome, collapsing elements of the meditation hall.
Similar to the 2022 suicide bombing at the Jamia Masjid Koocha Risaldar in Peshawar’s ancient city that claimed the lives of several believers. The bomb reportedly shot police at the temple’s entry before igniting himself inside the hall where a sizable crowd was observing Friday prayers, according to Dawn.
Authorities in South Waziristan have begun looking into the fire page to figure out who was concerned for the mosque’s Alert farming. Authorities are concerned about the rising attacks on spiritual sites in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa despite the fact that no group has already claimed responsibility.
