RIP to the deceased . Peshawar is really like the hub of blasts in Pakistan it seems .

The terrorists are getting defeated in Khyber Agency, their back has been broken, but there will be incidents like this for a bit, as the militants try to create some chaos close by in Peshawar, Orakzai Agency after they flee from Khyber Agency. But they will lose. For lasting peace though, military operations is not the answer, political reconciliation is.

Mods, please change the title of the thread. Tirah Valley, where the blast took place is in Khyber Agency, FATA. Not Peshawar.

terrorists were in cooling down period before, it was just a lull before the next series of blasts, kidnaps and assassinations
they will go underground again when the security forces will mobilise and will make some arrests.

the cause needs to be addressed. killing 5 or 10 terrorists is not a solution. they will keep coming as long as they have their local and foreign support.

people should be mindful when they make a judgement and look was a one dimensional reasoning to explain the terrorism.
take your pick from below. it can be a combination of the few from the following or something that is not listed below.
but rest assured there is no clear definition or reason for never ending violence.



well, its Muslims, and their faith so its bound to happen.
well, its the third word country, they are not civilized.
well, its sectarianism its not going to go away soon.
well, its Pakistan army fighting the war for Americans which is having its reaction.
well, its the Saudis that are funding the wahabi/ deobandi Taliban
well, it is the Saudi indoctrination & radicalisation of Pakistani society
well, its our leadership that is inept and corrupt and people are angry
well, its our ISI that is doing all this to make the Democracy unpopular.
well, its the Iranians who are fighting the proxy war with saudis
well, its the RAW, MOSSAD, CIA and Blackwater that are behind the terrorism

Why always Mosque, the Mosque don't get Police Protection, I guess.

there is no way you can protect the mosque and its people when the worshippers are coming out.

tell me if the security can stop a suicide bomber from rushing into the crowd as hundreds or thousands of people are coming out of the gate at once at the end of say a temple, a church or a mosque?

in tribal areas the mosques are attacked for two reasons.

1. if they belong to Shia sect which according to all Islamist terrorists are heretics and deserve death.
2. if they belong to or frequented by the local militia that is opposed to Taliban and is pro- government.

These terrorists are nobody's friends. Pakistan is fully committed to ensuring their non state actors do not attack china and chinese interests.

Suicide attack in Khyber agency
kills 22: official

The attack in Tirah Valley, Khyber Agency killed 23 Lashkr-e-Islam militants, not civilians.

those stinking lizard eaters can keep killing eachother, saves us bullets......

i'd rather they blow eachother up than kill civilians -- most of them just common people at the wrong place at wrong time, even women and children

how somebody can stoop so low and explode themselves in holy places of worship is simply beyond me -these are the level of people we're having to deal with

TIRAH: A bomb exploded outside a mosque located in the Tirah Valley of the Khyber Agency on Friday,

At least 22 militants of the banned outfit Laskar-e-Islam were killed, security sources said.

According to the sources, banned outfit Tehreek-e-Taliban Tariq group claimed responsibility of the blast.

Bomb explosion outside Tirah mosque kills 22 militants


if 1 group of militants are attacking the other group its a good thing

just wondering what would be their reaction now considering the fact that they are tasting their own medicine.

TTP is attacking some new terrorist group like laskhar e islam, but why? any genuine reason or some difference in ideology or personal enmity?
It seems like gang war that happens in big cities of world.
Bilalji kuch roshni daliye?

The TTP Afridi faction from Orakzai has been squeezed out by the Pakistan Army. Militants in the FATA on a whole have seen their havens destroyed, & the militants and their strongholds have been squeezed. Lashkar-e-Islam (LEI) led by Mangal Bagh in Khyber Agency has seen the TTP Afridi faction come there. As their strongholds get smaller, the militant groups will fight amongst each other to control their diminishing land. The TTP has also been split up brutally by the ISI behind the scenes, & it is not the force it once was; & is now just easy pickings for the military. Many factions inside the TTP are not fighting the Pakistan Army anymore. Hakeemullah Mehsud of the TTP is the biggest enemy to Pakistan, as well as Mangal Bagh of the LEI. The others do not pose as serious a threat.

So kind of turf war between militant organisations.

Hakeemullah Mahsud has always been the biggest threat but I will not discount the raw fanaticism of the Tariq Afridi group. They have continually kidnapped businessmen, slaughtered Sikhs... there are also rumors that their faction in conjunction with Hakeemullah Mahsud is responsible for the kidnapping of doctors from the city of Peshawar. Tariq Afridi's militants constantly move in and out of Peshawar and there is evidence that Hakeemullah outsources some of his dirty laundry to Tariq Afridi.

We cannot discount the other Taliban groups because they are in reality allied to the TTP and like Hakeemullah Mahsud we haven't been able to hunt their commanders.

It is pathetic that in all this time we have not managed to take out a single commander. Mullah Toofan still active in Kurram despite operations in his area of influence, Faqir Mohammad active despite operation Janbaz in bajur, Omar Khalid still operates in Mohmand. We are so pathetic we couldn't get a single one of these commanders. Even failed to get Fazlullah from Swat (though the militaries performance in Swat was much better)
