A search operation in the camp is underway and partial curfew has been imposed at the Ghalani Headquarters.

Mohmand, one of the agencies of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan (FATA), has been a hotbed of violence during the war on terror, despite a military operation in 2009.

On September 17 this year, at least 36 people were killed and over 30 injured in a blast at a mosque in tehsil Anbar in Mohmand Agency.
