A suicide blast has been reported in the I-10/4 sector of Islamabad. According to initial accounts of the incident, the blast occurred in a car that was stopped by Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police on suspicion.
Media reports claim that the suspicious car went off during checking. One ICT Police officer -Head Constable Adeel Hussain – has embraced martyrdom while four police officers and two citizens are said to be injured. The injured have been rushed to PIMS for further medical assistance.
ICT Police contingents have cordoned off the crime scene and an investigation into the terrorist attack is underway. Meanwhile, ICT Police has beefed up the security in the federal capital. Likewise, Rawalpindi Police has also followed in the footsteps of ICT Police, further consolidating the security of the twin city.
In an official statement, ICT Police has revealed that routine snap-checking was going on as part of stringent security measures in the federal capital when police officers ordered a vehicle to stop. The driver of the suspicious car set himself off as soon as the officers approached to search the car.
Speaking with the media, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) ICT Police, Sohail Zafar Chattha, said that Eagle Squad stopped a taxi for checking. A man was driving the explosive-laden car while a woman was sitting in the passenger seat. The driver stepped out of the car after he was ordered to stop. He went back and detonated the car as soon as he saw police officers approaching the car.
The DIG lauded the Eagle Squad for foiling the nefarious plans of the suicide bomber as it appears that he wanted to blast the vehicle at some sensitive place. The DIG said that the martyred police officer saved the federal capital from a bigger unfortunate incident by sacrificing his life.
