The identity of the suicide bomber involved in the Tarlai mosque blast on Friday has been confirmed, according to sources.
According to the sources, the suicide bomber received training for terrorist activities in Afghanistan.
The suicide bomber had travelled to Afghanistan multiple times and had returned from Afghanistan some time ago, sources further added.
Different terrorist groups based in Afghanistan, under the patronage of the Taliban regime, pose a threat to the security of the entire region, government sources said.
There is a nexus between Afghanistan and India behind every terrorist attack in Pakistan, sources further say.
Additionally, the entire nation stands united together like a lead wall against such heinous and cowardly acts.
Such cowardly attacks on mosques and innocent civilians cannot weaken the resolve of the Pakistani nation, sources added.
Tarlai mosque blast
Today, as a result of a suicide blast at a mosque in Tarlai on the outskirts of Rawalpindi, 31 people have been martyred. Several worshippers were injured.
IG Islamabad, Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi’s cousin, Assistant Patrolling Officer, Shahzeb Javed, has also been martyred in the Tarlai mosque blast on the outskirts of Rawalpindi, on Friday.
According to reports, he was IG Islamabad’s first cousin. Additionally, reports suggest that his father has also been injured.
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.
