PESHAWAR, Pakistan: The Pakistani Taliban on Saturday claimed responsibility for a bomb blast near a Shiite Muslim procession in northwest Pakistan that killed seven people.
"We carried out the attack against the Shiite community," spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan told AFP by telephone from an undisclosed location after the explosion on the outskirts of Dera Ismail Khan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
He said the Taliban had dispatched more than 20 suicide bombers across the country for attacks against the minority community.
"We have 20-25 fidayeen (suicide bombers) in the country to launch bomb blasts and suicide attacks," Ehsan said.
"The government can make whatever security arrangements it wants but it cannot stop our attacks."
