Deadly Suicide Bombing Rocks Pakistan Political Rally, 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 explosion took place during a workers' convention, and while no one has claimed responsibility, the Islamic State group operates in neighboring Afghanistan. The district, once a safe haven for militants, has seen military operations to eliminate militancy in recent years, but attacks on security forces and civilians still occur.
