Hawzah News Agency- the Qom Seminary Teachers' Society has issued the following statement on the recent terrorist attack near the city of Parachinar in northwest Pakistan that killed and injured a large number of Shiites:

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful

The bloody terrorist crime that led to the martyrdom of a large number of Ahlul Bayt (PBUT) Shiites in the Parachinar region of the brotherly country of Pakistan has once again revealed the ugly and violent face of Takfiris and has caused sorrow in our hearts.

The mercenaries of Global Arrogance and Zionism are plotting to undermine the unity between Shia and Sunni Muslims in Pakistan with these crimes and to prevent the united Islamic nation from gaining strength against its enemies by creating religious divisions and discord.

Although this conspiracy designed by the security apparatus and Zionist think tanks is a precise and complex plan, it will be neutralized with the Jihad of Explanation and enlightenment of the scholars of the region, as well as the patience and insight of the informed people of that region, and it will reveal the hidden hands of arrogance.

If the Pakistani government and security institutions do not deal decisively with the conspiracies of tyrannical demons who are carrying out these bloodsheds, these incidents will undermine Pakistan's national security; Tactics and solutions in dealing with the perpetrators of these seditions must be pursued seriously and the lives of the oppressed Shiites must be protected.

The Qom Seminary Teachers' Society, while offering its condolences to the scholars and committed intellectuals of Pakistan, the honorable people of Parachinar, especially the families of the martyrs of this tragic crime, prays to God Almighty for mercy and forgiveness for the martyrs and for a speedy recovery for the injured.
