DERA ISMAIL KHAN (Pakistan), Sept 2 — Pakistani Taliban faction Jamaat-ur-Ahrar today claimed responsibility for twin bombs at a court that killed at least 12 people in the country’s northwest, just hours after another attack by the group in the same region killed two others.

The group’s spokesman, Ehsanullah Ehsan, promised more attacks in a statement sent to Reuters.

“We appeal to civilians to remain away from law enforcement installations and these un-Islamic courts. We will target them more,” he said. — Reuters
