Bournemouth booked a place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for only the third time in their history with a penalty shootout victory over Wolves, who had goalscorer Matheus Cunha sent off. Luis Sinisterra was the Cherries' hero at Vitality Stadium after the fifth-round tie had ended 1-1 after extra time, converting the winning kick after Boubacar Traore, Matt Doherty and Dean Huijsen had missed. The shootout drama came minutes after Cunha was shown a straight red card for aiming a punch, kick and headbutt at defender Milos Kerkez, who had initially tugged the Wolves talisman's shirt. Bournemouth shaded the first half and striker Evanilson, making his first start since suffering a broken foot at Everton in early January, put them ahead on the half-hour mark after Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone parried Antoine Semenyo's initial effort. The hosts thought they had doubled their advantage when Kerkez bundled home at the far post five minutes later, but the goal was disallowed for offside following an eight-minute check by the video assistant referee (VAR). Midfielder Alex Scott also had a first-half effort chalked off after using his left hand to help Kerkez's low cross over the line, before a sensational long-range strike from Cunha brought Wolves level. Andoni Iraola's side dominated the additional 30 minutes, with Tyler Adams sending a powerful shot narrowly wide from the edge of the box and firm headers from Sinisterra and Lewis Cook brilliantly tipped over the crossbar by Johnstone before Cunha's dismissal. Huijsen was first to miss from 12 yards in the shootout, but Doherty slid the next spot-kick wide of the target. Traore then fired his effort against the underside of the woodwork, allowing Sinisterra to secure his side's place in the quarter-finals. The draw for the last eight will take place after Sunday's tie between Manchester United and Fulham, which kicks off at 16:30 GMT. Eager to make amends for last weekend's 1-0 Premier League defeat at home to Vitor Pereira's side, Bournemouth started on the front foot. But they could not fashion a shot on target until Johnstone parried Semenyo's low drive into the path of Evanilson, who was left with a simple finish on the rebound. The opener appeared to re-energise the home side, who had the ball in the net again when Kerkez and Huijsen combined to bundle home an inswinging David Brooks' corner. VAR reviewed the goal for eight minutes, initially ruling neither defender had used an arm to help the ball over the line before shifting their focus to whether it should be disallowed for offside. Semi-automated offside technology is being used this season in fifth-round ties taking place at Premier League stadiums, but the complexity of the situation meant crosshairs were drawn instead to determine Huijsen was in an offside position from Kerkez's touch. The second half was a more scrappy affair – with the notable exception of Cunha's stunning strike – as neither team managed to find a winner before the end of 90 minutes. After failing to find a way past the impressive Johnstone in extra time, it looked as if Bournemouth's FA Cup journey was coming to an end when Huijsen's tame effort was saved by the Wolves keeper. But Doherty and Traore failed to hit the target with their attempts and Sinisterra made no mistake with his, as Bournemouth reached the last eight for the third time after 1957 and 2021. Aiming to reach the quarter-finals for the second season in succession, Wolves had chances to go in front themselves. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde had a shot deflected wide by Wolves' full debutant Nasser Djiga, while Norway striker Jorgen Strand Larsen failed to get a decisive touch on Cunha's delivery from the left. While they were fortunate not to be further behind at half-time, Cunha produced a moment of inspiration to bring the visitors back on level terms. The mercurial Brazilian collected Santiago Bueno's pass before steadying himself and rifling a venomous, swerving shot past Kepa Arrizabalaga – his 15th strike of the season in all competitions. However, Cunha's fine work was undone when he needlessly squared up to Kerkez after tangling with the full-back. The 25-year-old - who was charged with misconduct by the Football Association following Wolves' 2-1 defeat by Ipswich in December - needed to be restrained by his own team-mates before being escorted off the pitch, leaving his side with 10 men for the final stages of extra time and without their main penalty-taker. Wolves could have used his ability in the shootout as Doherty and Traore's missed efforts ultimately proved costly.

Blast At Taliban-linked Pakistani Seminary Kills Six People, Injures 20
~2.9 mins read
A religious scholar is killed at the influential seminary. Does this signal a growing threat from the armed group ISKP? Islamabad, Pakistan – A suicide bombing at a mosque in northwestern Pakistan has killed at least six people, including a prominent religious scholar, and injured at least 20, according to authorities. The mosque is located inside the Darul Uloom Haqqania seminary in Akora Khattak, a town in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Police said the attack occurred just after Friday prayers had concluded and appeared to target Hamid-ul-Haq, the leader of the religious political party Jamiat Ulema Islam-Sami (JUIS), who was killed. Speaking to the media, the provincial police chief, Zulfiqar Hameed, confirmed the attacker was a suicide bomber. He added that at least three policemen were injured in the attack. Government officials issued statements condemning the attack and expressing condolences to the families of those killed. “Such cowardly and heinous acts of terrorism cannot dampen our resolve against terrorism,” Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said. No group had claimed responsibility, but analysts suspected that the ISIL (ISIS) affiliate in Khorasan Province (ISKP) could be behind the bombing. “Given the symbolism of this seminary and its history, it is highly likely that the attack was carried out by ISKP. The group has ideological differences with the Afghan Taliban and their supporters, who follow the Deoband school of thought,” said Ihsanullah Tipu, an Islamabad-based security analyst. Darul Uloom Haqqania, a Deoband seminary, was founded in 1947 and was once led by Sami-ul-Haq, Hamid-ul-Haq’s father, who was often referred to as the “Father of the Taliban”. Sami-ul-Haq was killed in a knife attack in Rawalpindi in 2018. Hamid-ul-Haq, in his late 50s, was a former member of the National Assembly and became the president of JUIS after the death of his father. He had previously served as the seminary’s vice chancellor and last year led a delegation of religious scholars for “religious diplomacy” to Afghanistan, where he met senior Afghan Taliban leader Abdul Kabir. He had also called for Pakistan to recognise the Afghan Taliban government after the group retook control of the country in August 2021. More than 4,000 students are enrolled at the seminary, which also has many prominent Afghan Taliban leaders as alumni, including Sirajuddin Haqqani, Afghanistan’s interim interior minister, and Amir Khan Muttaqi, the interim foreign minister. The Afghan Taliban adheres to Sunni Islam and follows the Deoband school of thought. It faces opposition from ISKP, which belongs to the Salafist school of thought. The latter is often described as ultraconservative, adhering strictly to Islamic law. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has witnessed multiple attacks on mosques in recent years. In a January 2023 attack in Peshawar, a suicide bomber targeted a mosque inside a police complex, killing more than 100 people, most of whom were police officers. While no group officially claimed responsibility for the Peshawar mosque attack, ISKP has carried out several attacks in Pakistan, indiscriminately targeting civilians and security forces. In one of its larger attacks, a political rally organised by Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUIF), a rival faction of JUIS but also an adherent of the Deobandi school of thought, was attacked in July 2023 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Bajaur district. The bombing killed nearly 60 people. The last few years have seen increasing attacks in the country with most of them claimed by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which is ideologically aligned with the Afghan Taliban. Last year saw more than 1,500 deaths in the country due to these attacks. Tipu, co-founder of The Khorasan Diary, a security research portal, emphasised the significance of the attack on the seminary and the killing of Hamid-ul-Haq. “This seminary has deep historical ties with the Afghan Taliban. Many of its students fought against US and NATO forces in Afghanistan, and the current Afghan rulers are actively cracking down on ISKP in their country,” he said. According to Tipu, the conflict between the Afghan Taliban and ISKP is being fought both on the battlefield and in the ideological sphere. The Taliban has labelled ISKP as “Takfiris”, meaning those excommunicated from Islam. “This attack, which targeted a mosque on a Friday, will likely be used by the Afghan Taliban and their supporters to reinforce their claim that ISKP is not part of Islam,” he added.
