[^_^ 5,021]

KOHAT: At least 26 people were killed and 56 injured when a suicide bomber detonated explosives outside a Shia mosque in Pat Bazaar area of Hangu district on Friday when people were leaving after offering Friday prayers.

...

He said the bomber had detonated 7kg of explosives packed in his suicide vest when people were coming out of the mosque.

“We have found the head of the bomber who had come there on a motorcycle,” DPO of Hangu Mian Muhammad Saeed told AFP.

...

Sources said the suicide bomber had come to Hangu from Orakzai Agency on Thursday. A military operation is in progress in Orakzai Agency since 2010.

The western side of the border between Kurram and Orakzai agencies is a terrorist hub. The Hangu-Kurram highway has remained blocked for three years because of frequent attacks and killing of passengers and drivers of vans and buses.

The highway was reopened to traffic in 2011 after an accord between militants and the government Agencies add: The bomber detonated explosives in a narrow lane. Pools of blood and pieces of human flesh littered the street after the attack, which also destroyed at least five shops, witnesses said.

“It was a suicide attack which targeted Shias but Sunnis also fell victim since their mosque and some shops were also very close to the site,” DPO Saeed said.
