No one has claimed the responsibility for the attack.

This is the second attack on the local leadership of ANP in less than a week. On Friday, another ANP leader Umer Khattab Sherani was killed by the firing of unknown assailants outside his house in Dera Ismail Khan.

Sherani was the ANP’s candidate for the city mayor seat in the Local Government Elections. Protests erupted following news of his murder promoting the district administration to postpone the poll.
