Fitna al-Khawarij
A suicide bombing took place at a private wedding ceremony in Dera Ismail Khan. According to reports, the explosion was carried out due to personal enmity linked to extortion.
There are reports of innocent civilians being killed in the blast, according to sources.
Sources say that the Fitna al-Khawarij have now descended to such an extent that they have started targeting wedding ceremonies.
Due to the provincial government’s sympathy for the Fitna al-Khawarij and the resulting weak police, the Fitna al-Khawarij have now reached weddings to cause hostility, sources say.
Observers say that this cowardly attack is clear evidence that the Fitna al-Khawarij has no connection with religion, morality, or humanity.
Turning moments of joy into mourning reveals their brutality and brutal mentality, observers further add.
Observers say that the primary responsibility of the provincial government is to ensure the safety of the lives and property of unarmed citizens and take indiscriminate action against every facilitator of terrorism.
If decisive steps are not taken against the Fitna al-Khawarij, this fire will continue to engulf more homes, observers say.
