Kwa mujibu wa taarifa ya Waziri Mkuu, #ShehbazSharif shambulio hilo liliwalenga Polisi waliokuwa Ibadani katika #Msikiti ulioko ndani ya eneo la Makao Makuu ya Polisi na lenye ulinzi mkali
Msemaji wa Hospitali iliyopokea waathirika wa Shambulio amesema walipokea maiti 59 huku wengine 157 wakiwa wamejeruhiwa vibaya kutokana na mlipuko wa Bomu
Licha ya Msikiti huo kuwa katika eneo lenye Ulinzi mkali wa Polisi na Idara za Ujasusi, mshambuliaji alifanikiwa kuvuka vikwazo na kuingia ndani ambako kulikuwa na kati ya Maafisa 300 hadi 400 wa Polisi. Kundi la #Taliban limekana kuhusika na shambulio hilo.
==============
At least 59 people have been killed by a suicide bombing that apparently targeted policemen praying in a mosque in Peshawar, Pakistan.
The mosque is within the tightly guarded police headquarters area.
"Terrorists want to create fear by targeting those who perform the duty of defending Pakistan," Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said.
The Pakistani Taliban denied involvement after an initial claim by one of its commanders.
The group ended a ceasefire in November, and violence has been on the rise since.
In December it targeted a police station - like Peshawar, in the north-west of the country - leading to the deaths of 33 militants.
A hospital spokesman told the BBC the death toll stood at 59, while 157 people had been injured.
Between 300 and 400 police officers were in the area at the time, Peshawar police chief Muhammad Ijaz Khan told local media.
The mosque is in one of the most heavily controlled areas of the city, which includes police headquarters and intelligence and counter-terrorism bureaus.
