Deadly Suicide Bombing Targets Political Rally in Pakistan, Leaving Dozens Dead and Injured

At least 55 people were killed and 135 injured in a suspected suicide bombing at a political rally organized by the Jamiat Ulema Islam party in Pakistan's Bajur district. The rally, led by hard-line cleric Maulana Fazlur Rehman, was targeted by a powerful bomb. While no one has claimed responsibility, the Islamic State group operates in neighboring Afghanistan. Bajur, once a safe haven for militants, has seen military operations to eliminate militancy in recent years, but attacks still occur.
