[INQUIRER] A powerful kaboom destroyed an Islamic seminary on the outskirts of the northwest Pak city of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
 ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 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 Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire...
on Tuesday morning, killing at least eight students and wounding 136 others, police and a hospital front man said.
The bombing happened as a prominent religious scholar during a special class was delivering a lecture about the teachings of Islam at the main hall of the Jamia Zubairia madrassa, said police officer Waqar Azim. He said initial investigations suggest the bomb went off minutes after someone left a bag at the madrassa.
TV footage showed the damaged main hall of the seminary, where the bombing took place. The hall was littered with broken glass and its carpet was stained with blood. Police said at least 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of explosives were used in the attack.
Several of the maimed students were at death's door, and hospital authorities feared the corpse count could climb further. Authorities said some seminary teachers and employees were also maimed in the bombing.
Initially police said the bombing killed and maimed children studying at the seminary but later revised their account to say that the students were in their mid-20s.
Shortly after the attack, residents rushed to the seminary to check up on their sons or relatives who were studying there. Many relatives were gathering at the city's main Lady Reading Hospital, where the dead and maimed students were brought by police in ambulances and other vehicles.
