Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for the suicide attack on a mosque in Khyber Agency that killed over 50 people. Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan spokesman Muhammad Talha said in a statement on Saturday that the attack was carried out in retaliation for local resistance against the militants. Yesterday's attack was directed against the Kukikhel tribe, whose members killed two militants recently. Talha claimed the tribesmen had also destroyed three Taliban hideouts in the area.
