PESHAWAR: The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan Jamat-ul-Ahrar on Saturday claimed responsibility for the attack on an Imambargah in Rawalpindi that killed seven people and wounded 15 others.
The late Friday night blast targeted a gathering to distribute alms to mark the birthday of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).
“We claim responsibility of the attack on the Imambargah and vow to continue such attacks,” spokesperson of the Jamat-ul-Ahrar faction of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Ehsanullah Ehsan, said in an email.
“We want to make it clear to these infidel rulers that we will not be impressed by any of their laws or hangings,” he added.
The army has intensified ongoing military action against Taliban after the attack on an army-run school on December 16 which killed 150 people, 134 of them children.
