In a tragic incident in Akora Khattak, Pakistan, a suicide bomber detonated explosives inside a mosque located within a pro-Taliban seminary, resulting in the death of a prominent cleric and four worshippers. The attack also left dozens of individuals injured, just days before the commencement of the holy month of Ramadan.
The district police chief confirmed that the deceased cleric, Hamidul Haq, who led a faction of the Jamiat-e-Ulema Islam (JUI) party, was among those killed in the blast. Haq, the son of the late Maulana Samiul Haq, a key figure in the Taliban movement, was also in charge of the Jamia Haqqania seminary.
