New and undeniable evidence has once again surfaced linking terrorism in Pakistan to elements operating from Afghan soil, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.
Authorities have identified the second suicide bomber involved in the September 30 attack on the Frontier Corps (FC) Headquarters North in Quetta as an Afghan national.
According to security sources, the militant was affiliated with the extremist group Fitna al-Khawarij and has been identified as Mohammad Suhail, alias Khabbab, a resident of Maidan district in Wardak province, Afghanistan.
The suicide bombing at the FC Headquarters (North) in Quetta resulted in eight civilian deaths and left 40 others injured.
The identification of the Afghan attacker marks the latest instance of cross-border militancy believed to have originated from Afghanistan.
Security officials described the assault as “a shameful example of the Afghan-based Khawarij terrorists’ continued aggression against Pakistan.”
They added that such incidents underscore the growing regional threat posed by extremist sanctuaries across the border.
Pakistan has repeatedly accused the Afghan Taliban regime of failing to curb terrorist activities and providing safe havens to militants targeting Pakistani security and civilian installations.
Officials warned that Kabul’s continued “betrayal of commitments” and its persistent support for terrorist elements have become a serious threat to regional peace and stability.
