Suicide Bombing at Pakistani Seminary Kills Prominent Cleric and Others

The attack at the Jamia Haqqania seminary in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa targeted cleric Hamidul Haq, killing at least five and injuring dozens ahead of Ramadan.

Hamidul Haq, head of the Jamia Haqqania seminary and son of Taliban founder Samiul Haq, was killed in a suicide bombing during Friday prayers.
The attack, which occurred in Akora Khattak, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, left at least five dead and over 20 injured, with casualties expected to rise.
Authorities suspect the attack was a suicide bombing, with initial investigations indicating Haq was the primary target.
No group has claimed responsibility for the bombing, but speculation points to rival factions such as ISKP due to ideological conflicts with the Taliban.
The seminary, known for its ties to the Afghan Taliban, has been a historic training ground for key Taliban figures, including members of the Haqqani network.
