At least 12 people were killed and 27 wounded Tuesday in a suicide bombing outside a court in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. This attack, the first of its kind in the city in years, was claimed by the Pakistani Taliban group. The explosion caused panic among the population in an area where several government offices are also located. Pakistan has experienced an increase in attacks by armed groups since 2021 but Islamabad had largely remained untouched by militant violence in recent years while the last suicide bombing occurring in December 2022.<br /><br />#teleSUREnglish #Pakistan #Islamabad #SuicideBombing #Security<br />
