Washington. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday condemned the terrorist attack on a mosque in Peshawar, Pakistan, saying the United States “stands by” Pakistan in combating terrorism in all its forms. “The United States strongly condemns the January 30 bombing of a mosque in the police line district of Peshawar,” Blinken said in a statement. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of those killed.
At least 101 people were killed and more than 200 wounded when a Taliban suicide bomber blew himself up on Monday during afternoon prayers at a packed mosque in the high-security area of Peshawar, in Pakistan’s restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack.
