Mourners attend funerals of seven teachers in Pakistan

Thousands of mourners on Friday attended the mass funeral of seven teachers who were shot and killed at a school in northwestern Pakistan, drawing nationwide condemnation, officials said.
The mourners also rallied against Thursday's killings. The teachers were gunned down by unidentified assailants who stormed a school in Kurram, a district in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
The slain teachers were members of Shia community. The attack happened when the teachers were supervising exams at the school, and just hours after a separate attack killed another teacher — a Sunni Muslim — from the same school.
It was unclear who was behind the killings and no one has claimed responsibility.
On Friday, Inayat Hussain Toori, a senior Shia leader, condemned the killings.
“We want justice and we don't know who is behind it,” Toori said, adding that about 10,000 people rallied in Parachinar, a main in the Kurram district against the killings of teachers.
“We request the government to do justice with us," he said.
His comment came a day after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif denounced the killings and ordered a probe to determine who was behind the twin attacks on teachers.
Earlier, the slain Sunni teacher was also buried at a graveyard in Kurram.
Pakistan has witnessed a surge in militant violence since the Pakistani Taliban — who are known as the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP — ended a ceasefire with the government last year. TTP is a separate group but it is allied with the Afghan Taliban. Pakistani Taliban have been emboldened since the Taliban seized power in August 2021.
