Peshawar: At least 46 people were killed and over 100 were injured in a suicide attack on a political convention of a hardline Islamist party on Sunday in Pakistan's restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, police confirmed on Monday.
On Sunday, more than 400 members of the orthodox Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) party were attacked as they met beneath a canopy in the town of Khar, which borders Afghanistan. The JUI-F is recognised for its ties to hardline political Islam.
