It is pertinent to mention here that terrorists carried out the deadly attack on
Thursday night as they targeted highly guarded CID building located in the Red
Zone area by exploding heavy amount of exclusives.So far, 17 people have been
confirmed killed and 140 have been injured in the blast.The defunct outfit
Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility of terrorist attack
on CID building.Most among wounded persons are women and children, hospital
sources.The explosion created two 15-feet deep craters at the blast site besides
destroying a nearby mosque, Madeena and shattering windowpanes of many abutting
building.
Our government always says that we condemned the incident but don't take any
strong action against the terrorist. They announce donations to the victims but
never give money. The life of citizen in Pakistan is very dangerous. When we go
for work in early morning we don't know whether we come back to home or not in
evening. May Allah save Pakistan.
