The mosque is near several police offices in the city, and several police officers were there to pray this afternoon.  Many of those killed are from the police and it is believed that they were the target of the attack, the BBC reports.  According to AP, police officer Meena Gul was inside the mosque.  He says he heard shouts and screams after the explosion, and that he has no idea how he survived.  Gul estimates that there were around 150 people inside the mosque when the explosion occurred.  At least 80 are injured and 22 killed after the attack on the mosque.  Photo: Muhammad Sajjad \/ AP Another video shared on social media shows the inside of the mosque.  Several men walk around the building, and a wall appears to have been involved in the explosion.  The prayer carpets on the ground are covered in dust and broken building remains.  &#8211; Part of the building has collapsed and we believe that several people are under there, says Sikandar Khan in the police.  The explosion is said to have occurred during the afternoon prayer in the mosque.  Condemns the attack On Twitter, Pakistan&#8217;s former Prime Minister Imran Khan writes that he strongly condemns the attack, which he calls a terrorist attack.  &#8211; My prayers and condolences go to the victims&#8217; families.  It is very important that we strengthen intelligence and ensure that the police are equipped to face the terrorist threat, writes Khan.  The Prime Minister confirms that it was a suicide attack.  He warns of strong measures against those responsible.  The last time there was a major explosion in Peshawar was in March last year, when a suicide attack on a Shiite mosque in the city killed 56 people.  The extremist group IS then claimed responsibility for the bomb attack, which was the deadliest in Pakistan since 2018.<br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrk.no\/urix\/minst-70-skal-vaere-skadd-etter-eksplosjon-i-pakistan-1.16276773\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ttn-69 <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the hospital in the city of Peshawar in Pakistan, at least 32 have been killed and 147 injured.
