Suicide Bomber Kills 40 In Pakistan Mosque, 100 Wounded

At least 40 have been killed and 100 others injured in Peshawar, Pakistan after a suicide bomber struck a mosque during Friday prayers in the holy month of Ramadan.

So far no group has claimed any responsibility of the attack, but previously the Islamist militants like the Taliban had targeted mosques.

The mosque where the attack took place is in Ghundi, a village in the Khyber tribal region in the tribal belt of Pakistan. The region has been a Islamist militant's base for long and multiple operations have been waged by the Pakistani army at pacifying the region.

About four hundred people gathered for prayers in the Sunni mosque in afternoon.

The TV footage showed heavily damaged building, and scattered prayer caps, prayer mats and shoes across a blood-splattered floor.

According to village people, there were no security at the mosque which made easy for the suicide bomber to walk in undetected.

Since two bombings in mid of June this year, the attack appeared the deadliest.

Pakistani Taliban and the affiliates of the group stage such attacks frequently in Pakistan to oppose the alliance of Pak government with the United States.
