BREAKING: 12 Killed As Bomb Blast Rocks Court In Mardan, Pakistan by jalapa02: 1:36pm On Sep 02, 2016
According to BBC, a suicide bomber attacked the court in Mardan, killing about 12 people and injuring more than 50.

Officials say the attacker threw a hand grenade before running into the court area and detonating a bomb.

Also on Friday, four suicide bombers targeted a Christian neighbourhood near Peshawar before being shot dead.

Both attacks took place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and were claimed by Taliban faction Jamaat-ul-Ahrar.

Militants have targeted lawyers in the past, including a bomb attack in Quetta last month that killed 18 lawyers.

That attack was also claimed by Jamaat-ul-Ahrar. Ijaz Khan, deputy inspector general of police for Mardan district, told reporters three lawyers and two police officers were among the dead at the courthouse.

The suicide bomber attempted to reach the court’s bar room, where several lawyers had congregated – but was shot by police before he could enter, Mr Khan said.

The president of the Mardan Bar Association, Amir Hussain, told reporters he was in a neighbouring room when the blast happened.
