At least 20 Shia persons were killed and another 50 were injured during a gun and bomb attack at an Imambargah (Shia place of worship) in Phase-5 locality of Hayatabad area in Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) on February 13 when suicide attackers and gunmen —dressed in police uniform — attacked worshippers offering Friday prayers, reports Dawn. Sources said that around 800 worshippers were present inside the Imambargah at the time of attack. The Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP, Operations) Dr. Mian Saeed said at least three suicide bombers attacked the Imambargah. He confirmed that one suicide bomber detonated his device, while another was shot dead. The third was arrested in an injured condition. The Police have launched a search operation for the third attacker. KP Police chief Inspector General (IG) Nasir Khan Durrani said the entrance of the Imambargah is highly guarded and the attackers entered from the other side of the mosque. The attackers climbed a high wall and cut barbed wires in order to enter the Imambargah. They arrived in a car which they burnt. The Bomb Disposal Unit (BDU) chief Shafqat Malik said the attackers looked like Uzbeks. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mushtaq Ghani called for the deployment of Frontier Corps personnel, saying the Imambargah is very close to tribal areas which allows easy access for terrorists. Meanwhile, the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack.
