SUMMARY: A bomb detonated at a political rally in Khar, Pakistan, on Sunday, killing at least 40 people and injuring nearly 200 others, including children. The rally was organized by supporters of Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s Jamiat Ulema Islam party. The Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), condemned the attack, stating that it aimed to pit Islamists against each other. The TTP, though separate from the Afghan Taliban, remains a close ally. This attack comes as the TTP has intensified its attacks across Pakistan following the takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban in mid-August 2021.
