At least 20 people have been killed and 40 wounded after a bomb exploded at a vegetable market in northwest Pakistan.

The blast happened in the city of Parachinar, a mainly Shia Muslim area on the Afghan border.

The market was full of shoppers when the device exploded. Officials said the death toll was expected to rise.

A faction of the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) said it was behind the blast, adding its goal was "to avenge the killing of our associates".

• Who are the Taliban?
• Profile: What is Pakistan like?
• Why did Pakistan admit to hosting the Afghan Taliban?

The group's spokesman said it wanted to "teach a lesson to Shiites for their support for Bashar al-Assad," referring to the Syrian president.

The spokesman warned that his Sunni Muslim group will continue attacking Shia Muslims if they back President Assad, whose regime is entrenched in a six-year civil war that has claimed more than 310,000 lives.

What caused the blast?
Varied reports have emerged about the cause of the explosion, with some blaming an improvised explosive device (IED) hidden in a vegetable box.

Other accounts suggested a suicide bomber was responsible.

Sabir Hussain, a doctor at Parachinar's main hospital, told the Associated Press agency that 11 critically-wounded people were brought there, but died during treatment.

He said several others in a serious condition were being moved to other hospitals for better care.

Pakistan's military said soldiers had cordoned off the bomb site, and that Army helicopters were sent to evacuate the injured.

Parachinar is the capital of the Kurram, one of Pakistan's seven tribal districts.

These areas are governed according to local laws and customs, and are known for sectarian clashes between Sunni and Shia Muslim groups.

In December 2015, an IED blast at the same market killed at least 23 people and wounded more than 30.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has issued a statement expressing his grief over the latest loss of life.

The explosive was immediately defused by bomb disposal squad (BDS) after which the suspect, identified as Ghulam Raza, was shifted to some unidentified place for further investigation.

Moreover, a case has also been filed against the culprit.

Some LeJ scumbag I doubt .

After couple of months of peace, terrorists strike again.

The war on terror is incomplete and we are far too quick in declaring victory. We have not won until all attacks in Pakistan recede. The terrorists are able to strike weekly. Why are we not taking action against their bases in Afghanistan?

 

[war&peace]

Extemely sad news ... it can either be LeJ taking revenge for the murder of their leadership or RAW for the foiling of its terror plan in GB.
An Indian is openly applauding the attack and terming it Indian achievement in the thread Reaction of Indians

Most of their leaders are sent to hell , however govt on the other hand is trying to talk and bring them in the mainstream to those who have given up arms struggle that being said LJ hasnt changed their stance and the problem remain deep rooted.

Don't worry they will also be sent to the hell.

Don't worry they will also be sent to the hell.

Mr Bajawa needs to act quick and reply should be massive. Please learn lessons from Gen Raheel Sharif.

May they all rest in Peace

That's so sad, Parachinar is the nearest town to Afghanistan I believe, most likely one or two militant may have sneaked one. I think such an incident took place after long time in FATA? But yeah we need to heighten our security and get rid of all the terrorists inside the boundary of Pakistan

May terrorist see justice soon.

Simply shows the desperation out there when their assets are neutralized one by one and they had to respond with something and that something is targeting innocent civilians and that too with a bloody IED. No doubt they chose Parachinar as they area is landlocked from three sides by Afghanistan but what wonders me is that all they could do is install an IED rather than sending a moron to blow up. This was all aimed at stirring sectarian strife but they seem to forget that Kurram Agency has learned its lesson and your evil designs are not going to get any success here or elsewhere.

RIP.
Is it banned organization in Pakistan or roaming freely as good guys?

Atleast do some research before starting that bloody finger pointing. This henious act was carried out by TTP Khurasan which is housed in Afghanistan and nurtured by NDS-RAW goons. And U know why they did so?Bcz in past few days quite a few important assets of them had been neutralized. U play with fire...Fine...its matter of time U also feel the heat of it and may be I ll be tossing the same very question to U then just for fun of it. But wud I??? Naaaah....For us each innocent human life is important.
