A JI supporter, who is a doctor by profession, was arrested with suicide jackets in Dir district last month.

Karak resident Shakir Din was killed by the blast.DPO Tanoli said the culprits, Mohammad Nazir and Sabir Khan, were madrassa students and were arrested after sustaining injuries while detonating the bomb. “One was studying at a madrassa in the Attock area, the other at a Karak madrassa,” he said. Police are trying to determine if the suspects had links to militant organisations, he added. |
