PARACHINAR – At least 15 people including a woman and two children were reportedly killed, and 50 others injured when a powerful blast occurred outside an Imambargah at a market of Parachinar city in Kurram Agency on Friday.

The blast reportedly occurred this morning in the crowded Noor market where a main Imambargah is also located.

After the blast, the area has been cordoned off by the forces. It is being reported that bomb was planted in a vehicle.

According to the political administration, injured were being shifted to the hospitals, while emergency has been declared in all hospitals of the city.

On the other hand, helicopters of Pakistan Army have been departed to the bomb-hit city in order to rescue the injured.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Interior Minister Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan and others condemned the deadly attack in Parachinar.

No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing.

The enemies are targeting the Shias again to widen the sectarian rift. Just when things start to get better, something dreadful happens again.

They attack shias cause they hate shias.
If they want to widen sectarian rift, they would also attack Wahabis, doebandi etc.

RIP to the dead, and may Lord Jesus give their families the strength to pass through such a difficult time.

Makes me absolutely SICK!!!!!!

It doesn't matter who is being attacked, it's Pakistani lives being extinguished and Pakistani property and areas being destroyed along with their reputation. Nawaz Sharif has to demonstrably act to ensure the perpetrators are caught, the same way they are always caught in India, Europe or America.
 
Yeah let's just keep the Afghan border open... Jahilat is coming in and we're doing nothing about it. Cowardly.
 
Inna lillahi wa inna illahi raji'oon




How about somebody seal that revolving door on the border? Attacks completely died down after we closed only for Badshah Salamat to have an epiphany of opening it again, look what happened. Nawaz Sharif is a secutiy threat for Pakistan.

Actually it does matter.
Truth to be told, we know that shia killers belong to one certain ideology.
If you are sincere about fixing the issue then you need to eradicate the root cause.

Like him, most people are in denial. They think that the Shia killing, Ahmedis killings, Peshawar school attacks, Srilankan tea attack are the work of Raw, CIA and Mossad sitting in India, Europe and America. Reality is the the ideologies is sitting deep inside Pakistan. Till the denial and victim mentialitiy goes away, these things will continue.

RIP to the innocent people and so many families and dreams are crushed. Hope terrorists who did this are caught asap and hang in front of family members.

It's one thing for a layman to say we know who the killers are, and they belong to a certain ideology. That may well be true, but like any other nation Pakistan security services in conjunction with the judiciary need to identify and apprehend the perpetrators whoever they are. Yes by all means eradicate the root cause once it has been identified through due course and procedures as would be expected in UK, US, India Europe etc.

Can you please point out any part of my post which led you to make the accusation that I was in denial?

Ask any shia (who are the actual victims here) or any neutral person with I.Q. > 80, they will tell you the root cause. Even ask non muslims who are familiar with topic they will you the root cause.

Either totally ignorant or appologist would attempt to confuse or complicate the issue.
I lived in Pakistan during zia era so fully aware of "patient zero" and I believe Brian cancer cannot be cured by aspirin.

Where is the confusion or the apologist? I would have thought it's in the interests of the country itself to rid itself of any organisation which is bombing their citizens and property. Only someone with an IQ > 76 would think nudge nudge, wink wink, veiled accusations are a better alternative.

did not you write "once it's been identified blah blah blah"
Even a very slow person like me can out perform in this identification process considering over 3 decades available for thourough investigation.

Re other points:

Hint 1: it's not any organization.
Hint 2: I am not naming due to forum's norms.

Yes I wrote, "once it's been identified blah blah blah". Because that is how apprehending terrorists works in any country. You may well have a valid suspicion, but you have to follow up leads and collect evidence, then make arrests as speedily as possible. If the suspects are well known, then that should make narrowing the field down much easier. But you can't rule out any possibilities before any evidence has been collected. This is just standard police protocol in any civilised country. I can't speak for Pakistan, but this is how it would happen in Europe.
 
We all know why Parachinar gets attacked time and again and its not a coincidence that its an area with a high Shia population.

Its time these sectarian thugs are given the treatment that their hero and fellow sectarian butcher Malik Ishaq got.

State has to use propaganda to brainwash masses into leaving this sectarian hatred. Many common people justify these attacks because they hate the other sect. This needs to change to cut the legs from under these terrorits. Using mass media and some sarkari molvis can be one way to do it.
 
Said so a few days back that opening the border is inviting attacks from Afghanistan. Nawaz even Imran Khan are the ones to be blamed for this. The PTI leaders is also to stupid to understand the complex realities of Afghanistan. He often thinks as a Pathan more then a Pakistani.

Pathans are Pakistani. While it's quite possible that Nawaz, Imran, PTI or Afghanistan borders being opened up may all be responsible for this incident, it could equally be the case that it may be a false flag attack in order to discredit the parties you mentioned. The professional response would be to rule out nothing, and build the case on evidence dilligently collected by trusted authorities.

Of course Pathan are Pakistanis but IK thinks as a Pathan more then a Pakistani. Even if it is a false flag more then likely the perpetrators came from Afghanistan. Had the border remained closed this incident would not had happened. IK is to naïve to understand this.

Maybe you should provide some credible evidence to back up your suspicions before maligning any party with unsubstantiated allegations.

During my FSc days, I had a shia roommate from parachinar, he used to complain about Afghani helping their local enemy tribes.

I do not think opening or closing border will help much as border is too porous to begin with. Secondly, Pakistan is self sufficient with radicals.

What evidence? IK was in favour of opening the Pak-Afghan border that can be seen in his recent interviews over the past weeks. We have seen what has happened after the border has been opened.

Pak does have radicals, no doubt. But these attacks are mostly orchestrated from Pakistan. These attacks cease whenever the border is sealed and continue when it is open. Pak tribes may have differences with each other, I don't know on this subject.
 
Correction. I meant that attacks on Pakistan are orchestrated from Afghanistan. They cease when the border is closed then continue when it's reopened. IK like Nawaz was in favour of reopening it without realising the consequences.

- I tend to agree with your assessment regarding IK.
- Closing afghan - pakistan border does not mean that Afghani terrorist cannot enter Pakistan due to the nature of border. If we could seal our border somehow even then I am not convinced that it is a right thing to do considering so many regular peaceful people rely on open border.
- APS incident was planned from Afghanistan, and from the regions, where even Afghani state got no influence so I would say, Pakistan Army should start operations inside Afghanistan against those elements.
- Shia killing in Quetta, Parachinar, Karachi or in South Punjab rooted in an ideology, that needs to be addressed to fix this issue.

We still need to close the border as it is the best option we have. It will certainly reduce RAW backed terrorism in Pakistan. Similarly ISI should become much more active in India to teach them the only language our cheap neighbours understand. Pak should indeed openly attack terrorists in Afghanistan, no doubt about that.

It does matter who is being attacked. They keep brutally killing Shias and we sit here saying everyone else is dying or that they are Pakistanis as well and other bs. truth is, we need to identify a problem exists before we can solve it.

Isn't that what I said? I don't know why some people are deliberately trying to misconstrue this, I am saying that the authorities should be protecting all citizens of Pakistan regardless of the sect or religion they belong to, and the perpetrators need to be pursued and prosecuted by the authorities, also regardless of which sect or religion they belong to. I don't know what is so difficult to comprehend about that.
