PESHAWAR (Kashmir English): The investigation authorities have confirmed that all three suicide bombers who attacked the Federal Constabulary (FC) Headquarters in Peshawar were Afghan nationals.
The National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) has verified the Afghan nationality of all three suicide attackers involved in the November 24 attack, where three FC personnel were martyred.
Officials said that more than 100 suspects have been questioned so far as part of the inquiry.
Meanwhile, the investigators have also obtained CCTV footage showing the attackers’ movement from Rehman Baba graveyard to the FC Headquarters.
The officials revealed that the suicide bombers did not carry any mobile phones on the day of the attack, making the investigation more challenging. We are actively working to identify and locate any accomplices or facilitators linked to the attackers, investigation officials added.
On November 24, suicide bombers attacked the FC Headquarters, in which three personnel were martyred, while eleven people sustained injuries in the attack. One of the bombers blew himself up at the main gate of the building while the forces killed the other two attackers.
Earlier on Tuesday, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Inspector General (IG) Zulfiqar Hameed said that investigators had gathered crucial evidence, including photographs, fingerprints, and CCTV footage of the suspects.
“We have tracked the suspects quite far back. We are now trying to establish exactly how they entered the city,” he added.
The KP police chief said investigators had also identified the location where the attackers spent the night before the assault. The motorcycle used by the militants has been taken into custody, and forensic teams have extracted fingerprints from it.
“The terrorist’s motorcycle is now in our possession, and fingerprints have been obtained from it,” he said.
