At present, the Pakistani Army has not given information on how many soldiers died in the blast, but 5 children are also included among the 18 civilians killed.
Hafiz was associated with Masood Azhar
Ustud ul Khorasan, the terrorist organization that carried out the suicide attack, is actually associated with Ittihad ul Mujahideen Pakistan (IMP) and works for IMP chief Hafiz Gul Bahadur. This Hafiz Gul Bahadur was himself prepared for Afghan Jihad by the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI, where in the initial days, Gul Bahadur was trained in Masood Azhar’s training camp in Bannu. Also, after returning from Afghanistan, Hafiz Gul Bahadur had joined terrorist Masood Azhar and used to recruit terrorists for Jaish-e-Mohammed in Datta Khel and Miranshah to attack India.
Hafiz also ran a madrassa
Apart from this, he also ran his own madrasa, where after getting the terrorists trained, he used to send 60 percent of the terrorists to Afghanistan and 40 percent of the terrorists to Kashmir to fight for Jaish-e-Mohammed and Al Badr. However, after the Lal Masjid incident, when a terrorist organization named Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was born, Hafiz Gul Bahadur also joined those terrorists who started a war against Pakistan and this war is still going on against Pakistan.
