Authorities are looking into how a suicide bomber in Peshawar, Pakistan, murdered at least 100 people in a mosque in an area with heavy security.

Pakistanis were startled by the incident, one of the worst in the nation in recent memory. Most of the victims were security personnel who were praying.

City police, who are fighting extremists head-on, think they were targeted to undermine them.

It happens after the Pakistani Taliban violated a cease-fire two months prior.

Since then, violence has increased, with frequent assaults on law enforcement and military personnel.

The so-called Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a hard-line Islamist terrorist organisation, later refuted the accusation and put the blame for the explosion on the leader of a split faction.

Some analysts are questioning the denial, saying it might be a ploy to deflect attention.

The TTP has previously refrained from taking responsibility for some attacks on mosques, schools, or markets in favour of framing its brutality as a conflict with security forces rather than a war against the people of Pakistan.


Since years, the TTP has been engaged in deadly combat with Pakistan's security services and military. Although the group is different from the Afghan Taliban, it shares their hard-line stance.

Establishing their version of Sharia law in Pakistan's northwest is the Pakistani Taliban's top objective on a long list of demands.

The TTP formerly threatened to destabilise Pakistan from territory it held along the mountainous border with Afghanistan, which has long been a hub of insurgent activity. This was around ten years ago.

Malala Yousafzai, a schoolgirl, was shot in October 2012 in one of the Pakistani Taliban attacks that garnered the most media attention and prompted widespread condemnation. She had been advocating for females' education.

The TTP's influence in Pakistan was significantly reduced by the Peshawar school massacre, which the group did not claim but which resulted in 141 deaths, the majority of them children, and was followed by a massive military offensive two years later.

In response to public outrage, the army razed militant strongholds and drove rebels into Afghanistan. Pakistan's internal militant violence decreased.

But in recent years, attacks in north-west Pakistan have increased once more as a result of the TTP and other groups.

  • access to a previous hub of Taliban activities is uncommon.

After the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan in 2021, Imran Khan, a former prime minister of Pakistan, offered terrorists who had been sheltering across the border the chance to return home and start over if they laid down their arms.

The current issues began when the militants returned but refused to accept to surrender their weapons. The discourse that Imran Khan started eventually broke down as a result.



Last year, he was deposed, and new political and military leaders came into power. They cut off contact with the Pakistani Taliban after rejecting the terrorists' demands. The TTP then violated the truce in November and began attacking once more.

People in Peshawar, according to Ashraf Ali, the director of a blood donation organisation, "live in fear."

"I, my family, and the entire population are suffering from severe trauma. People here are terrified "
"It was a long route from Peshawar's terrorism to its tourism, and now Peshawar has once again been seriously harmed by terrorism. Everyone is apprehensive about what would happen next."



Pakistan claims that its military is prepared to confront the extremists. The police, however, are still ill-equipped to combat the well-funded and well-trained extremists. In recent terrorist attacks, police stations have been overrun; in some cases, the police did not put up a fight.

The general populace wants the carnage to stop, and experts are increasingly advocating a full-scale military campaign to defeat the extremists, as was done in 2014.

However, Pakistanis are discouraged and cynical of the government's efforts to combat militancy, which has persisted for 20 years in a cycle that appears to repeat itself.

Many think that the issue has not been totally resolved because Pakistan's security and political structure still includes those who support militants.
