Gunmen from the regional branch of the Daesh group have killed a politician affiliated with a religious political party in northwest Pakistan, police said Friday. “Jamaat-e-Islami Bajaur leader Sufi Hameed was leaving the mosque after offering prayers after sunset (Thursday) when two masked men on a motorcycle opened fire on him,” senior police official Waqar Rafiq told AFP. The official said the attackers escaped after shooting the politician in Bajaur district, near the border with Afghanistan where militants remain active. The Daesh group Khorasan branch (IS-K) said its “soldiers shot an official of the apostate political party,” in a message on Telegram. The local chapter of the group accuses religious political parties of going against strict religious preachings and supporting the country’s government and the military.
