One person was killed and another five injured on Monday in a suicide bomb attack by terrorists near a Shia Imam Bargah in Jhang, Pakistan. Two Afghans were seen fleeing the scene in Mohallah Jogianwala on a motorcycle rickshaw moments before the bomb went off. Another Afghan killed in the blast, was carrying the bomb. After searching the dead body, the police found that the dead man was wearing two Shalwars and two underwears, which made him highly suspicious, officials said.

The motorcycle rickshaw on which two of the terrorists fled was taken into custody later. The rickshaw driver told the police that the slightly injured Afghans got off his rickshaw near the Fawara Chowk. The area was cordoned off by the police who searched all the hotels in the vicinity, but could not find the suspects. Mohallah Jogianwala is adjacent to Mohallah Sultanwala where Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, one of the country's most militant Wahabi groups, has its headquarters. The area is popular among Afghans who are often seen renting shops for short periods. The Sipah e Sahaba and Lashkar-e-Jhangavi both had their terrorist training camps in Afghanistan during the Taliban rule in that country. |
