(KUNA) -- More than sixty-seven people were killed and over seventy others were maimed in a suicide kaboom on Friday in a northern Pak district, said officials.
A boomer, apparently 17 years old, went kaboom! himself up in a mosque where more than two hundred people were offering the Friday prayer, District Coordinating Officer (DCO) Shahidullah Khan told newsmen. He said the kaboom completely destroyed the mosque and buried the worshipers under the debris. Commissioner Kohat, Khalid Umerzai, said that the number of killed people has reached sixty-seven. Whereas, he added, more than seventy were maimed in the blast. The commissioner feared further rise in the corpse count saying several of the maimed were at death's door. This was one of the worst terrorist acts in the region. President Asif Ali President Ten Percent Zardari strongly condemning the incident said that the fight against snuffies will continue till their complete elimination. He in his message expressed the resolve not to be deterred by such acts of terrorism and vowed to continue the fight against terrorism till its logical conclusion. Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani has also condemned the blast. He said that the snuffies were pursuing their own agenda and were enemy of the state and the people and said the fight against terrorism will continue till its complete elimination.
Meanwhile,

according to local media, the Taliban have grabbed credit for the attack.
