New videos of the moment when the blast took place at the Pakistan rally have emerged. A large gathering can be seen listening to an address when the explosion occurs. The blast took place close to the stage where several senior leaders of Pakistan's JUI-F party were sitting while one of them was addressing the rally in Bajaur. A bomb went off as the arrival of Abdul Rasheed, a fireband JUI-F leader, was being announced. Bajaur is a district in Pakistan's tense Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The district near the Afghan border is a stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban. Initial investigations suggested the Islamic State group, a rival of the Afghan Taliban, could be behind the attack.
