A powerful explosion ripped through a judicial complex in Pakistan's Islamabad today, killing 12 and injuring 27. The local media reported it was a su***de attack.
Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi told reporters the su***de bombing attack happened at 12.39 pm local time. The bomber tried to enter the court building on foot, but detonated the device outside, close to a police vehicle, after waiting there for 10 to 15 minutes, Naqvi told reporters at the site.
Visuals from the site showed some people in black coats and white shirts, likely lawyers, sitting on the road and looking shell shocked. Blood is visible on their shirts.
It was a car bomb, Pakistani officials told reporters. The blast, heard kilometres away, also damaged several vehicles outside the court. The attack happened at a time when the area was typically crowded with hundreds of visitors attending hearings.
