Pakistan Launches Probe into Islamabad Terror Attack Amid Ongoing Tensions with India
The Pakistani government has launched an investigation into a deadly suicide bombing that killed 12 people in the capital city of Islamabad, amidst mounting tensions with neighboring India. The attack, which took place on Tuesday, was claimed by the Pakistan Taliban (TTP), although the group's spokesperson later denied involvement.
The blast occurred outside district court buildings during the day, with the bomber making several attempts to enter the area before detonating a device next to a police car. The explosion killed 12 people and injured 27 others. The attack has raised concerns about security in Pakistan, which has been grappling with a surge in terrorist activity this year.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had initially blamed the attack on "Indian state terrorism," without providing any evidence for his claim. However, Indian foreign ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal rejected Sharif's allegations, stating that India "unequivocally rejects the baseless and unfounded allegations."
The incident has further strained relations between India and Pakistan, which have been at a low point since April when India accused Pakistan of masterminding a terrorist attack in Kashmir. The two countries have exchanged accusations and retaliated with military action in recent months.
Pakistan's foreign minister, Ishaq Dar, condemned the attack and vowed to deal with terrorism as a major global challenge. "These cowardly acts will never shake or weaken our national resolve to deal with this menace," he said in a speech.
The investigation into the Islamabad bombing is ongoing, with Pakistani authorities working to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the attack.

I'm not buying the "Indian state terrorism" excuse from Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif 
. It's just another way to deflect blame and stir up tensions with India 
. And what's with this "cowardly acts" rhetoric? Can't they just be honest about who's behind these attacks? 
The lack of evidence from Pakistan is just suspicious, don't you think? 
. It's always better to look at all angles before making claims, you know? 
This just makes it harder to find the real culprits and address the problem effectively 
. Can't we all just work together to root out terrorism instead of playing blame games 
? 
pakistan needs to focus on their own issues instead of blaming others for their problems...and how many more lives have to be lost? 
it's not just about the government, its about the ppl too...terrorism is a huge problem in both india and pakistan, they need to work together to solve this 
they're literally just exchangin accusations left and right over this terrorist attack in islamabad... it's like they're not even tryin to find out who did it or why it happened. the indian gov is all like "we dont do terrorism" but pakistan pm sharif is already accusin them of bein behind it 
and india isn't helping by always jumping into it too 
pakistan needs to focus on getting to the bottom of this attack and not letting it escalate things with india again 
maybe they should have proof before pointing fingers 
it's just so frustrating when countries don't work together to solve problems instead of making things worse 
just thinking about that 
attack on Islamabad is giving me the chills 
12 innocent lives lost and 27 others hurt 
Pakistan has been dealing with terrorism for too long 
but one thing is clear: innocent people are paying the price 
we need to focus on finding solutions to this senseless violence 
.
and why are they always so quick to point fingers? it's just gonna escalate tensions and hurt innocent people...

Their statements about Pak are always so vague and unsubstantiated - sounds like propaganda to me
