Islamabad (Pakistan) – Pakistan is currently witnessing frequent bomb blasts, resulting in the deaths of Police personnel and soldiers. On 24 February, two attacks were carried out on Police in the northwestern region of the country. Six Police officers and one civilian were killed in these incidents. In the Kohat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, terrorists ambushed Police vehicles in a planned attack. The assailants fled after both incidents.

11 police officers killed in 4 terror attacks in Pakistan.

A country that once exported extremism now faces its own blowback.

Will Khawaja Asif blame India again?

With rising unrest from Balochistan to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, stability looks fragile.

Suicide blast in Bhakkar

On the same day, a suicide attacker detonated explosives at a Police post in Bhakkar district of Punjab province, killing two Police officers and injuring four others. Security agencies are investigating possible terrorist networks behind the attack.

Earlier, on 23 February, a paramilitary post in the Karak area was targeted using an explosives-laden drone. Several officers were injured in that attack. Subsequently, an ambulance carrying the injured personnel was also ambushed. In that attack, three officers were killed, and their bodies were burnt.

Although no group has claimed responsibility for the recent attacks, suspicion has been directed toward Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan. Interestingly, just a day before the Karak attack, on 22 February, the Pakistani military had claimed to have killed 70 terrorists during an operation near the Afghan border.

The fight against terrorism will continue: Asif Ali Zardari

President Asif Ali Zardari condemned the attacks and stated that the fight against terrorism would continue.

Editorial Perspective

What else can one call such a statement by the President of a terrorist country — that is, a country of terrorists — if not a joke ?

Editorial Perspectives

• Pakistan’s deteriorating situation reflects the proverb, “As you sow, so shall you reap.”

• It would not be surprising if Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif were to allege that India is behind these attacks.

• Given the recurring bomb blasts occurring like firecrackers, it would also not be surprising if, in the future, Pakistan were to fragment into five parts — Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, West Punjab, Seraiki region, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
