Investigations into the deadly suicide attack on the Damangi Camp in Bajaur have revealed new developments, with security and intelligence-linked reports claiming that the second suicide bomber involved in the incident has also been identified as an Afghan national.
According to the report, the second attacker has been identified as Baitullah alias Akif, reportedly from Afghanistan’s Wardak province. Separate claims attributed to the militant group Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan suggest a different name, Haneen, for the same individual, highlighting inconsistencies in identification across sources.
Investigative inputs further allege that the suspect had previously been associated with militant activity and may have had links with the Afghan Taliban in the past, although these claims have not been independently verified.
The report also references circulated imagery said to show the attacker in different locations, including alleged appearances at a security post in Afghanistan and alongside another suicide bomber involved in the Bajaur attack. These claims, however, remain part of ongoing investigations and have not been independently authenticated.
Security sources suggest that the attackers were part of a coordinated suicide squad involved in planning and executing the assault on the security installation. Authorities believe that cross-border militant networks may have played a role in facilitating the operation.
Officials have not yet issued an official response to the latest claims, while investigations continue to determine the full scope of the network behind the attack.
