A top official of Darul Uloom Haqqania was among five people killed, while 12 others sustained injuries in a suicide blast that targeted the historic seminary’s mosque in Nowshera, officials confirmed on Friday.

The bomb exploded in the front row soon after the Friday prayer as worshippers were leaving the weekly congregation at the Darul Uloom Haqqania mosque in Akora Khattak, located about 60 kilometres (35 miles) east of Peshawar.
