Pakistan Launches Investigation into Islamabad Terror Attack, Denies Indian Involvement
The government of Pakistan has initiated an investigation into the recent suicide attack in Islamabad that killed 12 people and injured 27 others. The blast occurred outside a district court building during rush hour on Tuesday, causing widespread panic and chaos in the area.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif initially claimed that the attack was carried out by Indian state terrorism, but later failed to provide any evidence to support his claims. India's foreign ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal quickly denied these allegations, stating that "India unequivocally rejects the baseless and unfounded allegations."
This latest incident has highlighted the ongoing security challenges facing Pakistan as it grapples with a surge in terrorist activity. The attack was claimed by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), but the group's spokesperson later denied involvement.
Pakistan has long accused India of harbouring terror groups, including TTP and separatist Baloch militant groups. However, these claims have been met with skepticism by India, which denies any support to these groups.
The recent attack in Islamabad comes just a day after an explosion in Delhi left eight people dead. While the causes of this incident are still unclear, Indian authorities are heading the investigation, which is being conducted under an anti-terror law.
Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar called for unity against terrorism in his speech, stating that "these cowardly acts will never shake or weaken our national resolve to deal with this menace."
As tensions between India and Pakistan continue to escalate, the international community remains on high alert, watching these two nuclear-armed countries closely. The investigation into the Islamabad attack is a crucial step towards understanding the motives behind the blast and preventing future incidents of terrorism.
