Pakistain (TTP) grabbed credit for the attack.

After the forensic examination of bullet casings collected from the scene of the crime, CCTV footage, and the body parts, it was established that TTP’s terrorist Umar was behind the attack.

Umar was facilitated by Satana Jan, a resident of Tehsil Jamrud of Khyber district. Then, the security forces launched an operation to arrest the suspects involved in the attack on the police check post.

During the operations, security forces nabbed two controllers, Farmanullah and Abdul Qayyum, on January 23. The security forces on January 27 then arrested four more controllers of terrorist, Fazl Amin, Fazl Ahmed, Mohammad Amir, and Hamadullah. Meanwhile,

two Afghan nationals were also taken into custody during the operation.

During the initial interrogation, controller Fazal revealed that the suicide bomber was an Afghan national who was brought to Pakistain by Jan.

Jan provided the Afghan national with the suicide jacket and weapons for the attack. "He was running TTP's North Wazoo chapter," Fazal added. The suicide bomber was being facilitated from inside Afghanistan, he revealed.

Jan was using four houses as hideouts and for suicide attacks in the country, he added.

The reports come as Pakistain tackles rising terror attacks — especially by the outlawed TTP and from across the Afghan border.
