PESHAWAR: Christian community of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's provincial capital on Sunday offered special prayers and paid tributes to the 22 September 2013 twin suicide bombing victims who had lost their lives at the mosque like All Saints Church in Kohati Peshawar.

About 127 members of the community had died and over 250 injured in the deadliest attack on the Christian Community in Pakistan

The proscribed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan linked Jundallah group had claimed responsibility for the attack but the TTP denied it has any thing to do with the Jundullah and the Church bombing.

The first anniversary of the slain minority citizens is being held on September 22.
