The Peshawar FC Headquarters Suicide Blast: Preliminary Investigation Reveals Afghan Attackers’ Entry Route has uncovered key details about how the militants reached one of Peshawar’s most sensitive security installations.
Police reports confirm that the first suicide bomber walked to the FC Headquarters’ main gate using the Golden Mosque Road. He wore a shawl to hide his identity and explosives. He detonated himself at the entrance and martyred three FC personnel. Despite the strong explosion, the main gate stayed intact.
Two Armed Attackers Entered Through Side Gate
Minutes after the blast, two militants in shalwar kameez entered the compound through a side gate. They carried rifles and hand grenades. The report states they moved toward the motorcycle stand on the right side of the compound. They opened fire on FC personnel. The security team responded immediately and killed both attackers within forty meters of the main gate.

Security sources confirm that all three attackers were Afghan nationals. Officials recovered weapons and ammunition from their possession. Investigators believe the militants aimed to take FC personnel hostage. Senior officers were inside the building and a parade was taking place during the assault, which made the timing critical.
FC Response Foiled a Major Terror Plot
The quick response of FC personnel prevented the attackers from entering deeper sections of the headquarters. Security forces cleared the compound shortly after the encounter. Officials say the attackers planned a major terror operation that has now been foiled.
Authorities continue to collect more evidence. Teams are verifying communication links, support networks, and the exact planning behind the Peshawar FC Headquarters attack.
