Residents walk past the aftermath of a suicide bomb explosion in Kohat,...

Two suicide bombers targeted the Islamic International University today at 3 15 pm killing 6 and injuring 15 according to initial reports. Both the bombers detonated explosive simultaneously. One bomber exploded himself at the University Women Cafeteria while the other attacked the Faculty of Shariat Building. 2 women are among the dead. The Interior Minister visited hospitals to inquire about those injured in the blast but had to cut short his visit to the university because of the presence of protesting students who pelted his motorcade with stones. It merits a mention here that almost all of the educational Institutions were already closed due to security threats but some Universities including Islamic University didn't close down their campuses.
