PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) – A suicide bomber blew himself up at a Pakistani mosque on Monday, killing at least 10 people including a prominent local cleric in the lawless district of South Waziristan, officials said.
Maulana Noor Mohammed was greeting members of the congregation in the town of Wana after prayers at the mosque when the bomber struck, security officials told AFP on condition of anonymity.
“At least 10 people died and there are more than 20 injured. It was a suicide attack,” said one of the officials.
Syed Noor, a nephew of the cleric, confirmed that his uncle was killed. He was a former lawmaker and belonged to radical Sunni Muslim party Jamiat Ulami Islam, which has been linked to the Taliban.
Wana is the main town in South Waziristan, one of Pakistan’s seven districts in the lawless tribal belt on the Afghan border. Pakistan last year waged a major operation to flush out the Pakistani Taliban from South Waziristan.
