Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

News are coming in. At this stage its not clear if its a bomb attack or cylinder blast. If its an attack then the point arises as to who could have done this? About 10 people have been confirmed dead so far.

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

seems to be a bomb blast.

TTP are distancing themselves from this attack. I hope I am wrong but I feel we are inching towards open confrontation.

Blast at Peshawar

Denying the Pakistani Taliban had any role in the blast, Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan spokesman Shahidullah Shahid told Newsweek via telephone the TTP did not attack innocents. “We never target innocent people,” he said, adding: “It is not our policy to carry out such attacks and we are distancing ourselves from it.”

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

so Aitzaz was a militant?

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

TTP never attacks innocent people? Are they on crack?

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

Playing a Sick April fool joke in January?

Very tragic incident indeed.

I wonder which particular sect the Tableeghi members belonged to.

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

Same to TTP (in easy words)...

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

I'm afraid, I didn't get it.

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

TTP and Tableeghi jamaat both are deobandis...

Lets wait for the investigations, but I fear this could be a sectarian attack.

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

I suspect the same. A new war within an ongoing war seems to have set in.

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

Sectarian war can literally destroy Pakistan...I hope sense prevails.

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

Sense must be 'installed' if it does not prevail automatically.

But the question is: Does the state have the guts to establish its writ?

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

but, TableeGhii jamaa'at is considered the most peaceful. they concentrate more on 'ibaadaat than a Hukoomat.

this is the reason that US gave them visitor/preaching visa even right after 9/11 because they knew their agenda. they had free entry and exit through US borders with Canada. they still are the non-political entity within Islam.

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

still there is confusion regarding the blast...

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

It was taken in the mosque in a ghee ka dabba :( and the blast took place while offering maghrib prayers

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

First and foremost, we send our condolences to the victims’ families. We also wish a speedy recovery to those who got injured in this attack. The terrorists have no shame in targeting a religious center. It is safe to say that they will target anyone who opposes their ideology. At the same time, conspiracy theories only let these terrorists off the hook and help further their evil agenda. We wish to see a peaceful Pakistan for the sake of achieving our peace objectives in the region. Our common vision in regards to stabilizing the region has helped us remain united against our common enemies. We must continue to work together to negate the threat of terrorism. We share a common stance against terrorism, and hope to continue our partnership for the betterment of the region.

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

An attempt to turn them violent as well? Or a retaliatory act on peaceful people? Another tragic day in Pakistan!

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

Sad day indeed.

Wait no one has yet blamed PTI and IK?

Re: Blast in Tableeghi Markaz Peshawar

PTI cant do anything to stop these people whoever doing this but at least it should condemn them.
