A spokesman for the group, Ehsanullah Ehsan, said Hanifullah alias Hamza, 25, detonated himself Nov 2 targeting people returning from the flag-lowering ceremony at the Wagah border gate, Dawn online reported.

The militants also released a photo of the alleged bomber.

According to officials, Hanifullah belonged to a bordering town in Mohmand tribal agency.
