Seven persons, including a child, were killed and 30 others injured in a suicide car bombing near the Saddar Police Station in Kohat of North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on April 18, according to Daily Times. This is the second suicide attack during 24 hours after suicide bombers targeted an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp at the Kacha Pakka on the outskirts of Kohat. Police official Faizullah, who witnessed the attack, said the bomber wanted to target the Police Station, but had to detonate the explosives in the car early when officers tried to stop him. Faizullah said the explosion severely damaged the Police Station and a primary school. Kohat Commissioner Khalid Khan said all those killed in the attack were civilians, while nine Policemen and two Frontier Corps personnel were among the injured. Qari Hussain, a top commander of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) who allegedly trains suicide bombers, called an Associated Press (AP) reporter from an undisclosed location hours after the blast to claim responsibility.

At least 18 persons were killed and 32 others were injured when a suicide bomber blew up a passenger van at a bus stand in Tirah bazaar (market) of Kohat in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on December 8, reports Dawn. The blast took place at around 1.50pm (PST) when people were returning home in Lower Orakzai Agency from the bazaar. The explosion damaged 11 other vehicles. The Police media cell said the suicide bomber appeared to be 18 to 20 years old and his jacket contained six kilograms of explosives. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack. Usman Ali, a spokesman for the TTP Kohat chapter, told on telephone that “One of our Fidayeen has carried out the attack. I cannot disclose his name at this stage. I can only confirm that my superiors ordered the attack.” Kohat division commissioner Khalid Khan Umerzai said that “We have 197,000 internally displaced people in Kohat. I have sent more than 4,400 families over the past four days to Orakzai Agency, but their presence in such a large number is an imminent threat to security.” Daily Times reports that it was a sectarian attack as most of the passengers belonged to Shia community. The daily quoting Usman Ali, the TTP Kohat chapter spokesperson, reports that “Shias were targeted and more such attacks would follow”. Eyewitness Waheed Ahmed said the bus stand was used mainly by passengers from Shia-dominated areas of Orakzai and Kurram, where sectarian violence has rocked the local population.
