“TodayAsiaNews” According to a source from Mrs. Reading Hospital in Pakistan, yesterday’s bomb attack on the Zubariya Quran College in Peshawar killed eight people and injured 120 others.

The police reported that all the victims were students attending the Quran Academy; among the injured were two teachers.

So far, no one has claimed responsibility for terrorist acts. Five kilograms of explosives were used in the explosion.

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan condemned this “cowardly attack” and pointed out that it would combat terrorists and their extremist ideologies, and bring those responsible for these crimes against humanity to justice.

According to Amer Kakkazai, a researcher and writer in Peshawar, the attack is similar to the tragic attack on a military school six years ago, when a group of armed men killed 150 people. Most of them are young students.

Kakazai told TodayAsiaNews: “Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has faced terrorism for 20 years. The saddest thing is that Muslims kill other Muslims in the name of religion.”

This scholar criticized the work of the security forces and various governments that have ruled in recent years because he was guilty of inaction to defeat terrorist organizations.

“Targeting children in schools and Marrakech is a heinous crime. Authorities must provide security for citizens and stop funding terrorist organizations in the name of national security” or geopolitical interests.

According to the Dawn newspaper, citing government sources, the attack did not carry the logo of Pakistan’s Trike Italiban or its affiliates. This seems to be the job of a well-trained new terrorist organization.

Ata-ur-Rehman Saman, a human rights activist and coordinator of the National Justice and Peace Commission, pointed out that the attack was carried out during peace talks in Afghanistan, and Afghan security forces have been exerting a huge influence in Pakistan.

On September 14, the U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation, Zalmay Khalilzad visited Islamabad to promote reconciliation efforts between the Afghan government and the Taliban.

Saman pointed out that the purpose of the attack in Peshawar may be a peace effort. He added: “I hope that the Pakistani government will consider all aspects of changes in the situation in the region.”
