Pakistan: At least 13 killed, including 2 children, in suicide attack claimed by Pakistani Taliban
At least 13 people, including two police officers and two children, were killed in a suicide attack Monday in Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, police said.
More than a dozen other people were injured in the attack in the Charsadda District.
A spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was in retaliation for the execution of Mumtaz Qadri on March 1.
Qadri was convicted of killing the governor of Punjab province in 2011.
