PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) – At least 15 people, most of them policemen, were killed in a suicide attack attack on Thursday in Pakistan’s northwestern tribal region near the Afghan border, officials said.

The attack took place in the Khyber tribal region while policemen were gathering to break their fast.

“A suicide bomber blew himself up in the residential barracks of the local policemen at Torkham town near the Afghan border, killing at least 15 people,” local administration official Rehan Gul Khattak told AFP.

Khattak said,“most of those killed in the attack were policemen”.

A security official in the area also confirmed the attack and the number of casualties.

Another local administration official, Naeem Afridi feared the death toll would rise.

He said,“vehicles of local administration were shifting the injured and dead bodies to local hospital.”

The attack came hours after a US missile strike in Kaniguram village of South Waziristan tribal region killed at least four militants on Thursday.

Washington alleges Al-Qaeda and Taliban rebels who fled Afghanistan after the 2001 US-led invasion are holed up in the semi-autonomous tribal belt.

More than 2,000 people have been killed in a series of bomb blasts and suicide attacks in the country during the last two years.

It’s his operating area and he just threatened to do so the other day? No, but of course it was CIA, RAW, MOSSAD and MQM, it can never be the angelic baby faced Hakeemullah Mehsud, the lion of the mujahideen. :rolleyes:

Re: Hakeemullah Mehsud strikes at Torkham

Deaths are up to 22 security men who had gathered for iftar. Neo-jihadism shows its true colours again. Where's the condemnation from nawaz, jamati and immi wallas?

Re: Hakeemullah Mehsud strikes at Torkham

Some people are doing much more than condemning and protesting. They are sacrificing lives.

Yeah they are sacrificing their lives. GOD what may be the mentality behind killing 22 innocent men in this holy month of Ramzaan, and the killer sacrificing his own life too.

Just think of the kids of victims counting the days of Ramzaan to celebrate their Eid. Dreaming of new clothes and Eidi. Shame on lives of those who are behind all this.

He heard you …

DAWN.COM | Provinces | Taliban claim responsibility for Khyber suicide attack

well it cant be true even if they claim, you know problm with these is they want attention and want to remind us they exist and are in control more you give them coverage more emboldened they get..
i would say it was surely done by some militant group but doubt if it was hakimullah wants attention and we dont have to give them this time like we did to his predecessor.

By striking a peace deal with and ignoring his obvious attacks?
