NOWSHERA: Maulana Hamid ul Haq Haqqani, a Pakistani politician and Islamic scholar<\/a>, has recently lost the battle of life in a tragic suicide blast in Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on February 28.<\/p>\n

Haqqani was born on May 26, 1968, and served as a member of the 12th National Assembly of Pakistan from November 16, 2002, to October 2, 2007. He had a B.Sc. in civil engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology, Peshawar, graduating in 1988.<\/p>\n

Haqqani, the oldest son of well-known Pakistani religious scholar Maulana Samiul Haq, took over as the chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Sami after his father’s assassination. His father was the founder of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Sami and the vice-principal of Darul Uloom Haqania in Akora Khattak, Nowshera.<\/p>\n

His untimely passing at the age of 56 has sent shockwaves across the nation and investigations are underway to set the circumstances behind the unlucky incident.<\/p>\n

Earlier, four people including Maulana Hamid were killed and several injured in a suicide blast at the Darul Uloom Haqqania mosque in Akora Khattak area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa\u2019s Nowshera district<\/a>, police confirmed.<\/p>\n

District Police Officer (DPO) Abdul Rasheed confirmed that an explosion took place in the front rows of the mosque soon after the Friday prayer.<\/p>\n

Inspector General Police (IGP) KP Zulfiqar Hameed said that the explosion was a suicide attack and three policemen were also injured in the attack.<\/p>\n

Hameed confirmed that former NA member and JUI-S chief Maulana Hamidul Haq, the son of Maulana Sami-ul-Haq Haqqani, was the target of the attack.<\/p>\n

Maulana Hamid, the vice administrator of Darul Uloom Haqqania and emir of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Sami (JUI-S), succumbed to his injuries as he was being given medical aid, the top cop said.<\/p>\n

\n
Rescue teams reached the spot and shifted the injured and dead bodies to nearby hospitals, and law enforcement agencies have cordoned off the area.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The bodies of four deceased have been kept at the Qazi Hussain Ahmed Medical Complex, while the other injured are receiving treatment. Meanwhile, Hamid\u2019s body is at Nowshera CMH.<\/p>\n

KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur ordered an immediate report on the incident and directed officials to provide the best medical facilities to the wounded.<\/p>\n

\u201cTargeting innocent people in a place of worship is an inhumane act,\u201d Gandapur said, adding that all available resources should be used to bring the elements involved in the heartbreaking incident to justice.<\/p>\n

Haqqani, the son of assassinated cleric Maulana Samiul Haq, served as vice chancellor of the Darul Uloom Haqqania and chairman of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Sami (JUI-S) political party. He previously\u00a0served as a member of the National Assembly from 2002 to 2007.<\/p>\n
