Bomb Attack at Pakistani Mosque Kills at Least 16, Injures 56 A bomb attack at a mosque in Kohat, Pakistan, has claimed the lives of at least 16 people, including five police officers, and injured over 56 others.
The assault occurred during Friday prayers, when worshippers are supposed to feel safe from harm. The attackers used an explosive laden car that was rammed into the mosque entrance as people gathered for prayer.
This modus operandi bears a disturbing resemblance to past strikes carried out by extremist groups in the region.
