Four killed in Parachinar blast

[Kabira]

PESHAWAR:

At least four people, including a woman, were killed as a bomb went off near a vehicle in Gudar area of Central Kurram Agency early Tuesday.


Twelve others were reportedly injured in the explosion.

“An anti-tank mine was buried on the roadside,” Shahid Ali, an assistant political agent, told The Express Tribune. “It was a rutted path in an area that is at a distance, initial details by an investigation team have confirmed four people have been killed,” he added.

Last month, at least 23 people were killed and 100-plus wounded when a suicide bomber detonated a car ‘rigged with explosives’ outside an Imambargah in a busy marketplace in the main town of Kurram tribal region. The grisly violence sparked angry protests by local residents in Parachinar, the administrative headquarters of the agency, which is prone to sectarian violence. Jamaatul Ahrar, a splinter group of the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, claimed credit for the deadly bombing in Parachinar, which came less than two months after a bomb ripped through the main vegetable market in the same city on January 21.

This is a developing story and will be updated accordingly.

It's clear terrorists main civilian targets now days are either Parachinar or Lahore. Parachinar because they shias, at least good portion of them. I wonder if government have done something to increase security in Parachinar?

10 killed as landmine blast hits van carrying census workers in Kurram

A passenger van hit a landmine in Godar area of Kurram Agency on Tuesday, killing 10 passengers, which included children, and injuring eight others, among them two census workers.

The vehicle was on its way from Godar to Sadda, Parachinar when it hit a mine, injuring two census workers on board, security sources told DawnNews.

The injured were shifted to a hospital where they are being treated for injuries.

The army dispatched an MI-17 helicopter to Parachinar to assist in transferring the injured victims of the blast to CMH Peshawar, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) reported.

Initial reports suggested that only one woman was killed in the attack, but the death toll quickly climbed to 10 after the injured succumbed to their wounds.

Census workers have been the target of many attacks since the national enumeration exercise kicked off on March 15.

After an attack targeting census workers in Lahore claimed the lives seven people — four army soldiers, an employee of the air force and two other passers-by — and injured 18 others, Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa declared that the sixth population and housing census would be completed at all costs.

The latest attack on Monday saw a security official lay down his life while another suffered injuries in the line of duty in Kallag Kolanch, an area near the coastal town of Pasni in Gwadar district. The two personnel were deputed to provide security to a census team.

PARACHINAR: A remote-controlled roadside bomb targeting a minibus killed at least 10 people and wounded several others in Kurram Agency on Tuesday, an official in the region said.

"Ten people were killed, including a woman and one child," Shahid Ali Khan, assistant political agent for Kurram Agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), told Reuters.

Khan said the militants planted a roadside bomb in Kurram Agency, close to the Afghanistan border.

"When the passengers were coming, they detonated the remote-controlled bomb," he said.

A special military MI-17 helicopter has been sent to Parachinar to bring the injured to Peshawar for treatment, the ISPR said.

ISIS has officially taken responsibility for this attack, claiming to have killed 12 Shia 'Infidels'.
To those Pakistanis who told me few months ago that ISIS will never have a foothold in Pakistan, here's a living proof. The lesson? Wherever there is a breeding ground for extremism, bastard extremist children will be born, it doesn't matter if it's TTP or ISIS, they are all the same scum.

There is difference between ISIS operating somewhere and actually having foothold. In that case whole world is foothold of ISIS. They are mostly coming from Afghanistan where they actually have bases. Like where US dropped MOABs near Pak border.
