Saudi Guarantees, Kohat Delivery
Pakistan says it will go “to any extent” to defend Saudi Arabia. On Friday, a vehicle packed with explosives struck a gate beside a mosque inside the Kohat Police Lines compound during prayers.
The early count was seven dead and more than 30 wounded. Those were initial Rescue 1122 figures from the first evacuation.
By the evening, Kohat Hospital’s medical superintendent reported 22 dead, including 16 police officers and six civilians, and 103 wounded. The blast tore through the mosque’s outer section and collapsed part of a wall.
Police said seven armed militants entered the compound after the vehicle-borne bomb exploded. Police and Counter-Terrorism Department units killed six of them, including a suicide bomber and a sniper.
A clearance operation continued as the casualty reports rose. Dawn reported that Ittehadul Mujahideen, led by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, claimed the attack.
On Thursday, Pakistani military spokesman Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said Islamabad would go “to any extent” for the security of Saudi Arabia and the Haramain.
He cited Pakistan’s commitments under the Makkah Defense Agreement and the bilateral defense pact with Riyadh.
On Friday, Pakistan failed to keep a bomb out of a mosque inside a police compound.
