After a suicide attack at a mosque in Tehsil Ambar of Mohmand in 2016, which left 28 people dead and 30 others injured, the security forces and administration of the then tribal district adopted a standard operating procedure to not allow anyone to park their vehicles in or near mosques during Friday prayers.

The worker then reportedly tried to snatch the weapon of the Levy official, used abusive language and “warned him of dire consequences because they now have a government”, the official report added.
Later after Friday prayers, Mohibullah along with other party workers blocked the road causing problems for commuters. When security personnel reached the area, the accused managed to flee.
