Pakistan says it has arrests 4 militants over involvement in suicide bombing at Islamabad court
The arrests follow a suicide attack killing 12 and wounding 28, linked to Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan commander Saeed-ur-Rehman, amid rising militancy and cross-border tensions.
- On Tuesday, Pakistan announced the arrest of four militants linked to a suicide bombing outside an Islamabad district court that killed 12 and wounded 28 in a joint operation by the Intelligence Bureau and Counter-Terrorism Department.
- Pakistan's government blames cross-border coordination from Afghanistan for the attack, with Mohsin Naqvi, Pakistan's Interior Minister, saying Afghan nationals carried out the Islamabad bombing on Tuesday and a Wana attack earlier this week, while Saeed-ur-Rehman, TTP commander, ordered the attack via Telegram.
- One suspect, Sajid Ullah, arranged the bomber's accommodation, retrieved an explosive vest from a Peshawar graveyard, and transported it to Islamabad, officials said.
- The attack highlighted a worsening security climate across Pakistan, challenging Islamabad's prior safety; on Friday, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi thanked Qatar and Turkey while Shehbaz Sharif urged Kabul to rein in the TTP and offered talks.
- With a fragile cross-border ceasefire, Islamabad says Kabul tries to reframe militants as refugees while Daadullah hides in Afghanistan and detainees are suspected Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan members.
