Pengeboman

17 April

Pengeboman terjadi di kamp Kacha Pukha,[4] set up for internally displaced persons that had fled the Orakzai tribal area in north-west Pakistan near the Afghanistan border.[3] The victims were among 300 people[5] queued to register for aid at the camp.[6] The suicide bombers were reported to be wearing burqas,[7] and having set off their bombs within minutes of each other.[6] Most of the victims were from Baramad Khel and Mani Khel tribes who had fled fighting in Orakzai Agency.[8]

18 April

Hari selanjutnya, terjadi bom bunuh diri lain di sebuah kantor polisi untuk menanggapi operasi militer di Kohat yang membunuh 7 orang dan melukai 21 orang. Kepala polisi Kohat, Dilawar Khan Bangash, mengatakan: "Itu adalah sebuah serangan bunuh diri. Targernya adalah kantor polisi. Pengebom meledakkan kendaraannya di bagian belakang kantor polisi. Insiden ini adalah reaksi pada operasi militer di daerah kesukuan."[9]

Tanggung jawab

Sebuah organisasi militan Sunni, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi telah mengklaim tanggung jawab untuk peristiwa ini.[6]

Tangapan

In the aftermath of the bombings, the United Nations temporarily suspended operations assisting refugees in the Kohat region.[10] There are more than 200,000 internally displaced persons in the area of the incident.[11]

Pakistan's defence minister, Ahmad Mukhtar called the attacks "highly barbaric and cowardly."[1]
