The suicide bombing at a mosque in Kocha Risaldar of Peshawar during Jumma prayers has left the nation heartbroken and livid. At least 62 people have been killed and close to 200 injured in the blast.
The CCTV footage released showed the suicide attacker clad in a black shalwar kameez, brandishing a pistol, making his way into the mosque and opening fire at the policemen deputed for mosque security.
Celebrities like Mahira Khan, Humayun Saeed, Adnan Siddiqui, Ahsan Khan, Saba Qamar, Armeena Khan, Ali Rehman Khan and many more condemned the attack and requested prayers for victims.
Prayers for the victims of the tragic incident in Peshwar. May Allah bless the souls of the departed and give strength and health to the injured

Just a gentle reminder, Quaid E Azam was Shia. His closest aides were Parsis, Christians, Muslims and Hindus. This wasn’t his vision. This is not his Pakistan. Mercilessly killing people who believe in the same God, his Prophet and the holiest book. #shame #Shiagenocide pic.twitter.com/IEcE5pu6mN

Deeply saddened over the horrific terror attack during Friday prayers in #Peshawar. More innocent lives taken away so quickly by terrorism, how much more do we have to lose?
Praying for a world that values human life. Praying for these families. May Allah guide us all.

It’s a shame! Killing innocent people to claim supremacy. As if the world hasn’t seen enough because of covid…we don’t need viruses to kill us, we’ll annihilate ourselves at this rate. How much does our Pakistan need to suffer..????

However, no group has claimed responsibility for the Peshawar attack. Here’s hoping the affected are brought to justice.
