Parachinar Massacre

The Parachinar Massacre refers to a tragic event that took place in Parachinar, a town in Pakistan's Kurram Agency, largely inhabited by the Shia Muslim community. In 2007 and again in subsequent years, various attacks targeted these civilians, resulting in significant loss of life and injuries. The violence stemmed from sectarian tensions between Sunni and Shia groups. The massacre highlighted the ongoing issues of religious extremism and sectarian violence in Pakistan, drawing attention to the need for improved security and community harmony in the region.
