The bomber blew himself up near the Raiwind Tableeghi Markaz after a policeman tried to prevent him from entering the centre where a bi-annual congregation was in progress.
Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the overnight bombing. In a statement to media outlets, the outlawed out threatened more attacks on police in retaliation for the killing of their “associates” in Punjab.
The massive explosion came when 70,000 Tablighi Jamaat followers were present at the centre, but they remained safe. People rushed to the site to help the victims.
