Summary Says the attack was carried out in retaliation of Waliur Rehman's killing and drone strikes.

 

PESHAWAR (Web Desk) - Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Jundullah group on Thursday claimed responsibility for attack on the compound of Pakistan s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) in Sukkur.

 

Spokesperson of the militant group, Ahmed Marwat, told media that the attack was carried out in retaliation to the recent killing of their comrade, Waliur Rehman and drone strikes carried in the region.

 

"Jundullah had sent four suicide bombers to target the ISI office because the Pakistani Army and ISI are working in connivance with the US”, he briefed.

 

An apparent suicide bomber first blew himself up in front of a police building on Wednesday and then a second suicide bomber detonated an explosive-filled car outside the ISI office in Sukkur.

 

At least nine people were killed, including five attackers and four citizens in the attack.
