The previous toll from the suicide attack on the mosque at the police headquarters in Peshawar, northern Pakistan was 101 dead
The account of Monday’s suicide bombing at a mosque in Pakistan was revised down to 84 dead including 83 police officers, as law enforcement officials announced today.
The previous toll from the suicide attack on the mosque at the police headquarters in Peshawar, northern Pakistan was 101 dead.
The ‘confusion’ arose from ‘double recording by families at hospitals’where “wrong information” came from, Peshawar police chief Muhammad Ijaz Khan told AFP.
“Now that the work of the rescuers is over, we have completed the toll,” according to which 84 people were killed, he said. He clarified that the 83 were police officers, while the dead included a woman who did not belong to the ranks of the police and who lived and worked in this complex.
Moazzam Jah Ansari, chief of police in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where Peshawar is located, confirmed this new account to reporters. Many police officers are hospitalized in critical condition.
