One person was killed in a suicide blast in Peshawar's Hayatabad area when the bomber targeted a vehicle carrying civil judges on Wednesday.

Civil Judge Asif Jadoon and three female judges of the lower judiciary were travelling in an official car in Hayatabad's Phase 5 area when an attacker on a motorcycle struck the front of the vehicle and exploded, killing the driver and injuring the four judges.

The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility for the attack.

A total of six persons were injured in the explosion and subsequently moved to the Hayatabad Medical Complex. An emergency was imposed at the hospital.

“About 15 kg of explosive was used in the suicide bomb blast targeting a van carrying Civil Judge Asif Jadoon and other judicial staff in Hayatabat Township,” said Peshawar police chief Tahir Khan.

The blast occurred as officials from the provincial government were expected to inaugurate the Out Patient Department (OPD) at the Hayatabad Medical Complex. Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan and other senior party leaders were expected to attend the ceremony.

The Peshawar Development Authority office, the Shaukat Khanum Hospital, educational institutions, and several private and government offices are located in the area.

Second suicide attack in a day
Earlier in the day, at least three personnel of the Khasadar force and two civilians were killed in a suicide attack in Mohmand Agency's Ghalanai tehsil on Wednesday, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

Three others were injured in the attack, sources in the political administration said.

A suicide bomber had tried to enter a housing colony of the local political administration. When he was stopped by Khasadar personnel, the militant blew himself up outside the main gate of the colony, the sources said.

The proscribed Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (JA) group claimed responsibility for the Mohmand attack in a statement emailed to journalists.

Pakistan will be facing a new wave of terrorism as ttp has vowed to hit soft as well military installations in a recent video circulating over internet
moreover Pakistan government has issued new terror threats against such attack which includes CPEC
this new wave will be a trial for COAS and his new team as former COAS had kept things almost under control

it appears Pakistan army will have to go in hot pursuit after these terrorist faction operating from Afghanistan as diplomacy has been useless in stopping these attacks besides army will also have to clear Punjab of such elements which serves as a hotbed for sympathizers of terrorist outfits.

You never know..he may have already killed his parents. These brainwashed zombies can do anything
Complete pitty on this deranged filth. His entire body parts scattered across the road a worthless shameful death. Clearly these people have no fear as they worship the devil. Do not refer to them as Pakistani Taliban they are Tareekhy Taliban Hind.

This is a war against Pakistan's law and order by perverted minds.
The frustration is so evident that they resorted to suicide attacks.
Pakistan should be prepared for worse because it has launched full scale operations against the extremists in Punjab.
I knew from the start that operation zerb e azab would need to be expanded to other provinces.
