Mardan - He was only 12 years, the suicide bomber who blew himself up in the air in a Pakistani army recruitment center in Mardan, about thirty miles north-east of Peshawar. According to sources close to investigators, the budget of the massacre has become worse. Initially it was about a dozen deaths that would later come to 31 and about 35 wounded.
The attack was claimed by the Taliban in Pakistan. The attack was an act of revenge against the raids in the area by U.S. drones and military offensives against the local army. "We claim with pride this suicide attack," said a rebel spokesman, Azam Tariq, speaking by satellite phone. "We will continue this way against those who provide security to Americans, is our revenge for the raids with spy planes and military operations in the tribal areas," said Tariq, referring to U.S.
anti-guerrilla campaign under way in remote areas on the border with Afghanistan. For the police, "the suicide bomber was a teenager, wore the clothes of a student," said Abdullah Khan, describing the uniform of the college Aziz Bhatti. The attack took place while he was in an exhibition during the training of recruits.
The young bomber was introduced in the barracks thanks to the uniform he wore as a pupil of the Military Academy, and that allowed him to mingle with the recruits while they were performing a training run, then blew himself up in the air. The town of Mardan is close to Pakistan's tribal areas regarded as sanctuaries of Taliban fighters.
It is located about fifty kilometers from the district of Mohmand, where the army runs from the end of January a broad military operation against Islamic extremists. The Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani "These cowardly attacks can not affect the morale of our security forces and disrupt our determination to eradicate terrorism." The attack is the worst since last Christmas, when a woman suicide bomber detonated an explosive charge hidden beneath the burka in a UN food distribution in the Bajaur tribal area.
Analysts consider him a possible indication that in Pakistan the cells are ultra-Integralist raising its head. The building where the explosion occurred, which is used as a camp for displaced persons of war, mass was surrounded by soldiers in combat gear, who have erected a security cordon of 400 meters radius, enhanced through the deployment of armored jeep with heavy machine guns mounted on the roof.
No one has been allowed to approach the center.
