At least 56 people were killed and 123 injured in a suicide attack inside Mandokhel Masjid in the Jamrud area of Khyber Agency, private TV channels reported on Friday.
Quoting locals, the channels reported that a young boy aged 15-16 years had entered the mosque through a window and exploded himself in the main hall during Friday prayers. Officials also confirmed that the blast was a suicide attack.
The channels said some militants had entered the area two to three days back and had been forced to leave by tribal elders. When the suicide bomber entered the mosque, he is reported to have shouted “Who will throw me out of the area now?”

  1. What can we do ? Our elders fought for this country ! But we can't even maintain it… Money is making everyone go crazy… They were paid to put this bomb in the mosque so basically out of frustration and sky high inflation in our country people are desperate to feed there family…. Even if they have to plant bombs/kill people they will do it to keep the stoves in there house lighted. Sad what we as PARHAY LIKAY jahils are doing to our own Nation !!!

  2. Say No to all politicians – political Parties ! Speak out… Eradicate corruption – become ONE nation (not sindhis / muhajirs/ pathans/ kashmiris/punjabi/ balochi ) first we need to unite on this concept… Be a PROUD Pakistani ONLY ! There are many things to highlight Admin… Media can play a positive role…find jobs for jobless ! Getting people married on TV easy I wish someone starts getting jobs for these people and highlight that on TV !

  3. Our three Aces whether deliberately or subconsciously gave human blood to their pets. ''The Goons'' instead of water. Now that taste of blood is so overpowering that nothing will stop them from their vampirism, unless their '' Masters''_drive the wooden stake through the hearts and turn their goons into dust.
