12 people have died and 27 others have been injured in a blast outside the District Judicial Complex in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad. Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has called this blast a ‘wake up call’. He said that Pakistan is currently in a state of war. During this, Afghanistan was also targeted for not finding any solution to the peace agreement.
‘Islamabad blast a message from Kabul’
Khawaja Asif said, “Whoever thinks that the Pakistani Army is fighting this war in the Afghan-Pakistan border area and remote areas of Balochistan should take today’s suicide attack on the District Court of Islamabad as a warning. This is a war for the whole of Pakistan, in which the Pakistani Army is making sacrifices and making the people feel safe.”
The Pak Defense Minister said, “In such an environment, it would be meaningless to have any big hopes for successful talks with the government of Afghanistan. The government of Kabul can stop terrorism in Pakistan, but bringing this war to Islamabad is a message from Kabul, to which Pakistan is present with full force to respond.”
Threatened suicide attack in Islamabad
According to Pakistani newspaper Dawn, Pakistan Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi called the blast a suicide attack. He said, “The attacker stood outside the court for about 12 minutes. First he tried to go inside the court, but when he could not go inside, he targeted the police vehicle. We are investigating the incident from different angles. This is not an ordinary bomb blast.”
Pakistan’s interior minister said, “Things will become clear in the coming days and those involved will not be spared. Rangers and police will ensure that the security of international events being held in the capital is not compromised.”
