Suicide bomb in Pakistan leaves over dozen people dead
Naqvi said the assailant had intended to enter the court but detonated explosives near a police van after being unable to gain access. Security forces have since sealed off the area, and an investigation is underway to identify those responsible. No group has claimed responsibility so far.
Although the perpetrators remain unclear, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has linked the attack to Afghanistan. On social media, he described the “suicide attack” on the Islamabad District Court as a “wake-up call” and stated that the ongoing conflict along the Afghan-Pakistan border in Balochistan is “a war for all of Pakistan.”
He added: “The rulers of Kabul can stop terrorism in Pakistan, but bringing this war all the way to Islamabad is a message from Kabul, to which – praise be to God – Pakistan has the full strength to respond.”
