PESHAWAR, Pakistan—A suicide bomber who killed 101 people at a decades-old mosque in northwest Pakistan this week had disguised himself in a police uniform and did not raise suspicion among guards, the provincial police chief said on Thursday.
Moazzam Jah Ansari said the suicide bomber, who arrived with a motorcycle to the mosque on a police compound, had been identified. Police were close to arresting suspects in Monday’s attack, one of the deadliest ever in Peshawar, the capital in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.
