Charsadda (Ghag Report) – In a shocking turn of events, ANP Charsadda District President and former MPA Shakeel Bashir Khan Umarzai accused PTI MPA Arshad Umarzai of being behind a failed suicide attack this morning. The blast, which targeted Shakeel, his three brothers, and his father, former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister Bashir Khan Umarzai, detonated prematurely, killing only the attacker.
Speaking on the incident, Shakeel Umarzai said, “Today, we had a court appearance at the Peshawar High Court, and as we were preparing to leave, our driver, Jalal, son of Liaqat, set off with a motorcycle laden with explosives, allegedly to target us. The explosion occurred en route, killing him before he could reach us.”
Shakeel alleged that longstanding political tensions with Arshad Umarzai, his brother Khurshid Umarzai, and Hidayat Umarzai had fueled the attack. He claimed their rivals had enticed Jalal with a substantial payoff to carry out the suicide mission.
Calling for justice, Shakeel Bashir Umarzai urged intelligence agencies and senior police officials to investigate the incident with the same vigor used to expose the masterminds behind the recent Peshawar Police Lines attack. He demanded a thorough and impartial investigation to reveal the truth and motives behind today’s attack, saying, “The public deserves to know the real faces behind such violence.”
