In the past two years more than 550 people have been killed in eight terrorist attacks in Pakistan. The attacks have been perpetrated by both Jamaat-ur-Ahrar – a splinter group of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) – and so-called Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP).
The latest attack has been claimed by ISKP, although the Pakistan military say it was perpetrated by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), a prominent militant group that is most known for its anti-Shiite attacks and sectarian violence.
Since July 2016, ISKP has established a secure footing Nangarhar province in eastern Afghanistan.
