After 9/11 a wave of terrorism came into Pakistan and Afghanistan. There were many horrible    humanity incidents of terrorism located in Pakistan in which thousands of people were killed include women and children.

Friday has a special signification in Islam. That’s way people special preparation worship on this day. In a village namely Paye khan of Mohmand FATA when the villagers were preparation for prayer of Friday in Ambar region of Mohmand Pakistan. There were a number of people present in the mosque young and old were included. When the imam say Allah u Akbar to start prayer on the time an other person also said Allah u Akbar and with a blast blown himself. The roof of the mosque felled and the mosque completely destroyed. In a short time 36 people killed in included 14 youngsters. The entire village was converted into mourning. An eye witness Sawab khan resident of Ambar was injured in the blast told in Ghalanai Hospital that he was praying with at least 200 worshippers at once he heard a voice of “ Allah-u-Akbar and after that a blast occurred which rocked the verandah of the mosque. There were blood and lashes on every side and the verandah was badly destroyed. He told must of the injured persons were waiting for vehicles because there were no arrangements of transportation in the area. Khaysta khan another resident of the area told that he was praying in the same mosque in the first row he also heard voice of Allah-u-Akbar when I came out saw  heads of human beings in the open field near the mosque.    

The sad story is that villager Rana Khan lost his four young sons in the blast. When I met with seventy years old Mr. Rana Khan in a weeping mode crying traumatized, responsible militancy which destroyed his whole family and demand the arrest the suicide attacker planners who are the enemy of life and peace in belt. In sad mode he told that the terrorists have no religion and humanity sense. However he is still daring that he will faces all the challenges and difficulties in his life. He said that his four youngster sons, Wahab khan 22, years old, Naeem Khan 18, Shahab 14, and Mushtaq khan 12, were killed in the blast. My elder son Wahab khan had married just two months ago, while the others were little ones. He said the death of four sons was a big tragedy for him as he has lost wife of late. He told that Naeem khan was working as labor in Rawalpindi city hundred kilo meters away from our village and had come to the village on vacation to celebrate Eidul Azha with family but he became a victim the blast.

Riaz khan is the elder son of Rana khan living in a mud house in backward area Ambar said that he is going to Rawalpindi to earn livelihood for her family and now I am alone earner of my family because my father Rana khan is old. He said our entire family has been ruined and we will not be happy in the entire life, now how I ask from whom that why my four brothers were killed and what was their fault. Wearing dilapidated cloths and broken shoes, 80 years old Baz khan whose son was also killed in the mosque blast said that these all are our children who killed in this blast. He added that we only live and walk for the satisfaction of grieving families the government should expose perpetrators of the suicide attack in front of public. Every family of the same village has a sad and grief full story. In this antihuman and cruel incident 36, people died while the 14 were youngsters.

Mir Ahmad a local resident whose brother and three cousins were also killed in the mosque blast said that whenever any incident occurred in Islamabad and Lahore quick action taken while passing four months of the Ambar Mosque blast , no action has been taken in this regard.

We received the information after three days of incident because the area was closed by security forces and was inaccessible for media.         

It will be mentioned here that the Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mr. Iqbal Zafar Jhagrra , Peshawar Corps Commander Lt; Gen Hidayat-u-Rahman and frontier Corps Inspector General Lt; Gen Shaheen Mazhar visited Ambar and gave away compensation the families of the victims.

The governor delivered cheques amounting to Rs, 400000 to the family of each deceased and Rs, 150000 to each injured. Officials of the local administration promised on the occasion of the blast that they would sanction a special vacancy for those having no earner in the family and identified such families for possible help. Now this is a question that who are right because the terrorists use as a slogan Allah-u-Akbar and the Muslim worshippers are also use this holly words of Islam. This a tragedy for us that the terrorists use the name of Islam but their activities are anti Islam and satanic because of which notorious Islam in the world.  

Islam means peace and it is learned us to love and respect to all the humanity of the world, but the terrorist show image of Islam in darkness and bad. Terrorism is a worldwide problem but don’t know about the agenda of terrorists and their target. Now the Pakistan and Afghanistan to need to combined action against terrorists to become peaceful and developed countries of the region. It will be useful for the world.
