Pakistan launches probe into Islamabad terror attack amid controversy over alleged Indian involvement.
The Pakistani government has launched an investigation into the suicide bombing that killed 12 people outside a district court in Islamabad, amid controversy over claims of "Indian state terrorism" behind the blast. The bomb exploded near a police car, killing 12 and injuring another 27, while the attacker's identity remains unknown.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had earlier made unsubstantiated allegations that Afghan-based militants had carried out the attack on behalf of India, sparking a denial from Indian authorities. However, the Pakistani government has so far failed to provide concrete evidence for its claims.
India has long accused Pakistan of harbouring and supporting terrorist groups, including the Taliban, which is also responsible for the recent explosion in Delhi that killed eight people. The investigation into this blast, led by India's anti-terrorism agency, is still ongoing.
The attack highlights the security challenges facing Pakistan as it grapples with a surge in terrorist activity. Islamabad has historically been considered a safe haven from militant groups, but Tuesday's blast marked a rare exception to this rule.
Pakistan's decision to launch an investigation into the attack comes amid heightened tensions between the two countries, which have strained diplomatic relations in recent months.

i mean, 12 people dead? that's crazy! but let's get to the real issue here - who was behind this? india's been sayin they had nothin to do with it, but pakistan's all like "oh yeah, we're gonna investigate" 
and honestly, if they don't come up with some concrete evidence, it's just gonna fuel more tensions between the two countries. and what's w/ india accusin pakistan of harbourin terrorist groups? that's a whole nother can of worms 
let's hope pakistan gets to the bottom of this & keeps their citizens safe 
Pakistan needs to get its own house in order before accusing someone else. It's like, how about you look into the alleged ties between Afghan-based militants and the Taliban before making wild accusations against India? 
. Like, who's been holding them accountable? It's time someone took responsibility and cleaned up the mess! 
they're tryin 2 fig out wut happened @ teh Islamabad blast & india's all like "nope ur doin it" lol 
meanwhile indian authorities are still tryin 2 cover their backs w/ that terrorism investigation 
its like both countries r playin a game of cat&mouse but we all know who the real pawns r 
Pakistan needs 2 focus on security & not let politics get in teh way 
& btw, afghan militants? really? thats a pretty weak claim 
. The fact is, there are some crazy people out there who want to cause harm, not necessarily representing their countries. We should be focusing on finding those individuals and bringing them to justice, not getting caught up in diplomatic spats 
.
. we've seen that spin a million times before. but seriously, pakistan needs to focus on getting some concrete evidence instead of making wild accusations. this just makes them look like they're trying to deflect from their own issues with terrorist groups. and what's up with the indian agency investigating in india? doesn't seem right to me...
... like, what's the point of having an anti-terrorism agency if you're not gonna use it? 
. I mean, can't we just focus on finding out what really happened instead of making it all about national security and geopolitics? Geez. And the fact that Islamabad isn't even considered safe anymore is, like, super concerning 
.
. The government needs to address these underlying issues rather than relying on knee-jerk reactions to high-profile attacks like this one. A more nuanced approach that involves regional cooperation and intelligence sharing could help mitigate such incidents in the future 
.
. And yeah, India's accusations don't exactly help - it feels like they're just trying to deflect attention away from their own role in the situation 
and what's with the lack of concrete evidence for these claims? it's getting old watching them make unsubstantiated allegations against india every time something goes down in pakistan
. It's time for them to take matters into their own hands and show the world they're not afraid of a little controversy
