PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A powerful bomb blast ripped through an Islamic seminary on the outskirts of the northwest Pakistani city of Peshawar on Tuesday morning, killing at least seven children and wounding 70 others, police and a hospital spokesman said.

The bombing happened while a cleric was delivering a lecture about the teachings of Islam at the main hall of the Jamia Zubairia madrassa, said police officer Waqar Azim. He said initial investigations suggest the bomb went off minutes after someone left a bag at the madrassa. Several of the wounded were in critical condition, and hospital authorities feared the death toll could climb further.Peshawar is the provincial capital of Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province bordering Afghanistan. The province has been the scene of such militant attacks in recent years, but sectarian violence has also killed or wounded people at mosques or seminaries across Pakistan.

The latest attack comes two days after a bombing in the southwestern city of Quetta killed three people.

Hello EmmanuelMacron Hope this incident open ur eyes & help to differentiate b/w religion & terrorism. FranceinPak

So Islamic terrorists killed kids at an Islamic seminary for being the wrong flavor of Islam? Yep, sounds like a religion of peace to me. Or is it islamaphobic to ask that? For the record, Falwell can go fuck himself too. Hypocrisy is hypocrisy no matter matter the flavor of God.

This is so deeply disturbing...prayers for all those suffering now and in the days to come.

Religion. We'd be better off without any of it.

. Damn. Not to sound trite but if IvankaTrump's up maybe she can get Jared right on this... Meanwhile. infinite_scream ❤🌍🌎🌏

Grown humans are just cruel. Give me kids and animals any day.

Praying for healing and understanding. May they all rest well and the terrorist found and prosecuted to the highest extension of the law.. say no to terrorism

Om Shanti 🙏🏽

Targeting children is really sad. My deep condolences and prayers for the victim families.
