 A suicide bomber killed at least nine people and injured four others on Thursday at a mosque in Mamoond tehsil of Bajaur Agency, APP reported. Officials told Daily Times that a pro-government tribal lashkar head, Malik Rehmatullah, was among the dead. The tribal elder had received threats for his pro-peace attitude. The suicide attack occurred at a mosque in the Badan village area of Mamoond tehsil when people were offering evening prayers, the officials said. A wounded worshipper told reporters at a hospital in Khar, headquarters of Bajaur Agency, that "we were offering evening prayers when a man blew himself up in the middle of us killing six instantly and leaving four others seriously injured".
