Peshawar, Pakistan – Naib Rehman lies on his hospital bed with his leg wrapped in plaster. The 44-year-old recalls that as he stood for the afternoon prayer along with 300 other worshippers, a massive blast shook the mosque in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar.
At least 100 people, most of them policemen, were killed and more than 225 people wounded in the suicide blast on Monday, the deadliest in a decade as attacks by armed groups are on the rise.
