Suicide Bombing Kills 6 at Haqqania Seminary

A suicide bombing at the Darul Uloom Haqqania seminary in Akora Khattak, Pakistan, killed at least six people, including Maulana Hamidul Haq Haqqani, a prominent religious scholar and politician. The attack occurred after Friday prayers and specifically targeted Haqqani, who led the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Sami) party. The seminary, known for its ties to the Afghan Taliban and founded by Haqqani's father, was heavily guarded, but the attacker entered through a side gate. While no group has claimed responsibility, suspicions have been raised towards the ISIL affiliate in Khorasan Province (ISKP). The attack has prompted condemnation from Pakistani leaders, who have reiterated their commitment to fighting terrorism. This incident is one of several recent attacks in Pakistan, raising concerns about security during the upcoming Ramadan period.
