SECURITY OFFICIALS EXAMINE A DAMAGED SECURITY FORCES' VEHICLE AT THE SITE OF A BOMB BLAST IN QUETTA, PAKISTAN. (PHOTO).


 Security officials examine a damaged security forces' vehicle at the site of a bomb blast in Quetta, Pakistan, Feb. 28, 2025. 


Police in northwestern Pakistan said Friday a suicide bomber detonated himself during afternoon prayers at the Darul Uloom Haqqania seminary, killing at least six worshipers and wounding more than a dozen others. 

Haqqania, with several thousand students, is in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and is among South Asia's largest and most respected Islamic seminaries. The top leaders of Afghanistan’s Taliban also studied at the madrasa in the town of Akora Khattak.  


 

Seminary head Maulana Hamidul Haq was among those killed, and the death toll was expected to rise, according to local hospital officials. 

The provincial police chief, Zulfiqar Hameed, confirmed the casualties, saying an investigation into the bombing was underway. 


 

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned what he called "a cowardly and heinous act of terrorism,” according to a statement issued by his office. 

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the blast, but suspicions fell on a regional Islamic State group affiliate, the Islamic State-Khorasan, or IS-K.
