... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central...
province that left 21 people killed and at least 30 others maimed was handled from Afghanistan. "The attackers were in touch with a number from Afghanistan," Lt Gen Asim Saleem Bajwa, the director general of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), told a news briefing in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
, according to Pakistain's The Express Tribune news.

"The bandidos Lions of Islam were continuously conversing on their mobile phones, two of which we have recovered and collected data from."

ISPR spokesperson has further said that the SIMs used in the phones were of Afghan origin, adding that a mobile phone recovered from one of the attackers was receiving calls even after he had been killed.

Pakistain's Jamaat--e-Islami party Siraj-ul-Haq has blamed India for the attack
Meanwhile,
...back at the shattered spaceship, Fffflirgoll the Arcturan slithered stealthily toward the control room, where the humans had barricaded themselves...
chief of Pakistain's Jamaat--e-Islami party Siraj-ul-Haq has blamed India for the attack saying that there is no doubt India was involved in it.

Afghan government has not yet responded to Pakistain's claim.

Yesterday's attack on Bach Khan University in Charsadda area was carried out by reportedly four attackers which started at around 09:30 and lasted for several hours.

The gunnies took students and instructors as hostages inside the university and engaged in shootout with security forces.

Several kabooms were heard from inside the university where some 3,000 students have been enrolled.

The overall attack left 21 people killed and around 50 others maimed.

Omar Mansoor, identifying himself from the Geedar group of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) grabbed credit for attack.

According to Mansoor, four attackers carried out the attack. Officials also confirm that four attackers were killed in the attack.

However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
Mohammad Khurasani, the central spokesperson for the TTP distanced his group from the attack.

It came a day after a TTP-claimed suicide kaboom at a security post in Karkhano area which is also close to Peshawar left 11 people killed and at least 30 others maimed.
