Suicide attack the gate of a Federal Constabulary headquarters in Peshawar on Monday
Investigative authorities have revealed that the facilitators of the suicide bombers who
attacked the Federal Constabulary (FC) Headquarters in Peshawar last year were also Afghan nationals.
The investigation into the suicide blasts at the headquarters has revealed that the planning of the attack took place in Afghanistan, officials said.
According to authorities, key arrests related to the incident have also been made.
The attack on the FC Headquarters occurred on November 24, 2025. Three FC personnel were martyred and five were injured in the assault, while eight civilians were also injured.
On November 30, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) confirmed that all three suicide bombers involved in the attack
were Afghan nationals.
Investigators reportedly questioned more than 100 suspects in connection with the bombing that killed three paramilitary soldiers and left 11 others injured, including seven civilians.
The martyred personnel were identified as Havaldar Alam Zeb Khan, Constable Riyaz Khan and Constable Altaf Khan.
On the day of the attack, three militants arrived on a single motorcycle. The first suicide bomber detonated explosives at the main gate while the other two entered the compound through the smoke and chaos, opening fire before being neutralised by security forces.
The assault occurred while a parade was underway at the headquarters, with around 450 personnel present at the time.
