A devastating suicide bombing occurred during Friday prayers at Madrassa-e-Haqqania Dar Ul Uloom, in Akora Khattak Nowshera district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province Pakistan. Significant casualties were caused by the explosion; at least five individuals were Maryred and more than twenty were injured. The attack claimed the life of Maulana Hamidul Haq Haqqani and his Son, the madrassa's custodian and the son of the late Maulana Samiul Haq. A well-known preacher Hamidul Haq Haqqani led the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Sami JUI-S, a powerful political organization in Pakistan. Injured personnels being transffered AHQ Noshera by Rescue teams, as well investigation teams are also investigatting about the blast and sources .behind it
Hamidul Haq Haqqani appears to have been the main target of the bombing, which is considered to have been a targeted strike. During Friday prayers a blast near the imam's pulpit caused significant damage to the mosque and led to the declaration of an emergency at the local hospitals in Peshawar and Nowshera. Although no group has taken responsibility for the incident, authorities have verified that a suicide bomber was most likely responsible for the attack.
Maulana Abdul Haq Haqqani established the esteemed Islamic seminary Madrassa-e-Haqqania, also called Darul Uloom Haqqania, in 1947. It has generated controversy due to claims of connections to militant activity and has been linked to a number of well-known Taliban figures, such as Mullah Jalaluddin Haqqani and Amir Khan Muttaqi. Seminary has continuously denied any participation in these kinds of operations.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur have strongly denounced the attack and promised to hold those guilty accountable. The incident demonstrates the continued difficulties Pakistan confronts in fighting terrorism especially in areas like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where terrorist activity has increased recently.
