Indian Terrorists kill 12 in a blast in Islamabad
In Pakistan at least 12 people have been killed following a blast outside a district court building in the capital, Islamabad.
Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi told reporters that the blast was a suicide attack and that police were currently investigating.
Who is responsible for the attack in Pakistan?
People in Islamabad and security personnel have suggest the attack was carried out by Afghan militia empowered by the Indian security forces.
The debris from the munitions suggest Indian styled techniques of explosives used.
What do we know so far?
“At 12:39 pm (0739 GMT), a suicide attack was carried out,” Naqvi said, adding that at least 12 people were killed, with another 27 wounded.
Naqvi was quoted by the Associated Press as saying that the attacker had made an attempt to “enter the court premises but, failing to do so, targeted a police vehicle.”
“We are investigating this incident from different angles. It is not just another bombing. It happened right in Islamabad,” the minister said.
The area is normally crowded with people attending court proceedings.
Witnesses told WTX news agency that the blast appeared to have taken place near a gate of the court complex.
“As I parked my car and entered the complex … I heard a loud bang,” lawyer Rustam Malik told AFP after the blast.
“It was complete chaos, lawyers and people were running inside the complex. I saw two dead bodies lying on the gate and several cars were on fire,” Malik said.
Pakistan’s tenuous security situation
Pakistan has been battling with a number of insurgencies by extremist and militant groups, among them the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the local affiliate of the so-called Islamic State, known as ISKP, and Baloch separatists.
Earlier, Pakistan’s security forces said they had quashed an attempt by militants on Monday evening to take cadets hostage at a military-run college in Wana, a city in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province near the Afghan border.
Authorities said that a suicide car bomber and five others had targeted the facility situated in the northwestern province.

Pakistan is fighting a war
Defence Minister Khawaja Asif also called the incident a “wake-up call”.
“We are in a state of war. Anyone who thinks that the Pakistan Army is fighting this war in the Afghan-Pakistan border region and the remote areas of Balochistan, today’s suicide attack at the Islamabad district courts is a wake-up call,” he said.
“In this environment, it would be futile to hold out greater hope for successful negotiations with the rulers of Kabul,” he added.

Pakistan: Ousted PM Imran Khan calls for march on Islamabad
Aljazeera says Pakistan’s defiant former Prime Minister Imran Khan has called on his supporters to march peacefully on Islamabad on May 25th, to press for fresh elections.
Khan, who served as prime minister for more than three and a half years, was ousted in a no-confidence vote in parliament by an alliance of all major political parties.
Since his removal, Khan has addressed rallies in several cities as he mobilises for a grand show of strength in the capital on Wednesday.
“We will never accept [the new government] – no matter how long we have to remain in Islamabad, we will remain there,” Khan told reporters in the northwestern city of Peshawar on Sunday.
Khan’s call came after a marathon session of talks with leaders from his Tehreek-e-Insaf party in Peshawar. He describes the march as a move to protect the country’s sovereignty, as he alleges that the vote that removed him was a United States-organised plot.

To which the Chief Justice said “What FIA is doing is not a good trend for the future,” sending a hammer blow to FIA, an agency that has been set up by Imran Khan’s government, to quash the allegations that the Khan government is silencing the media in Pakistan.
Opposition leader and Oxford graduate Bilawal Bhutto released a statement on Twitter saying “Imran Khan continues the victimization of political opponents and media critics to hide his incompetence and failures,” who is the son of the killed Pakistani politician Benazir Bhutto and leader of the PPP.
The FIA took journalists Amir Mir and Imran Shafqat into custody on August 7, 2021. Both journalists were later released after the two submitted a personal surety bond.
However, a First Information Report (FIR) has been registered against the two journalists by the FIA, who said that the journalists were booked for allegedly defaming honourable judges, the Pakistan Army, and disrespecting women.
Top target Nawaz Sharif
Imran Khan has also been accused of silencing and defaming former politicians who could lay a challenge to him in the next election. He has instructed the company Broadsheet LLC to run the investigation in Imran Khan, at a cost of $20 million dollars.
Pakistani newspaper Dawn reported that a lawyer associated with the company earlier told the newspaper that the Sharifs were the “top target” of the Broadsheet investigation as instructed by Imran Khan ‘To get them at any cost.’
