The suicide bomber was intercepted before the bomb blast. Sources also add that the bomber detonated after seeing that he was being stopped.
Many deaths have been averted since the suicide bomber was intercepted, sources add.
Sources say that if the suicide bomber had not intercepted on time, he would have gone to the main hall of the mosque. This would have caused a much bigger tragedy.
However, the complete extent of damage has not been confirmed yet.
Additionally, an emergency has been imposed in Islamabad’s hospitals, such as PIMS and CDA hospitals. The injured are being taken to PIMS and the Poly clinic for treatment.
State Minister Talal Chaudary also visited the PIMS hospital at the direction of Mohsin Naqvi.
Talal Chaudary has guided the hospital staff to provide as many facilities as possible to the victims of the blast.
An emergency has been imposed in Islamabad by the IG Islamabad.
