An Army statement said, 13 persons including eight security forces personnel, three schoolchildren and two civilians embraced shahadat (martyrdom) while 29 were injured in this cowardly act of terror. TTP spokesman Shahidullah Shahid claimed responsibility for the attack as payback for a deadly military raid on the Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) in Islamabad in 2007. It was carried by one of our suicide bombers to take revenge for the Red Mosque massacre, he said, adding, We will continue our struggle against the secular system.
