The February 2010 Khyber mosque bombing occurred at a mosque in Dars village in Tirah Valley of Khyber Agency in Pakistan on 18 February 2010. At least 30 people died and more than 70 were injured.[1][2]
Attack
The blast occurred at a mosque which was used by members of banned militant group Lashkar-e-Islam.[3] The bombing appeared to target a leader of the pro Taliban group and happened next to a market selling Hashish.[4]
Aftermath
The blast was condemned by Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani.[3] The bombing was thought to be result of a feud between rival militant groups.[2]
