On Monday, a terrorist attack occurred in Islamabad when an unknown man detonated himself near the courthouse. This horrific incident caused the death of 12 people and injured 27 others. According to Reuters, this is the first attack on the civilian population in Pakistan's capital in the last 10 years.
The Pakistani Defense Minister spread accusations that the attack was organized from Kabul, thereby blaming the Afghan government for supporting militants. Pakistan has stated its readiness to take responsibility for combating terrorism, although the Kabul government denies any involvement in the incident.
The rise in terrorist attacks on civilian targets could lead to a worsening situation and chaos in Pakistani society, especially after similar attacks that have occurred in recent days in Islamabad and India. The government is investigating these cases, trying to identify the perpetrators and prevent similar incidents in the future.
