A devastating suicide bombing outside a district court in Islamabad has left at least 12 people dead and dozens more injured. The Pakistani Taliban (TTP) has taken credit for the heinous act, further straining an already tense relationship between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The attack has ignited fears of a collapse in the fragile ceasefire between the two countries, with Pakistan accusing the Afghan Taliban of providing support to the perpetrators. The situation is on edge, but despite the fear-mongering, lawyers and ordinary citizens are showing remarkable resilience, refusing to be cowed by terrorism.
As the situation spirals out of control, Islamabad is bracing for more attacks. The city remains a hub of activity, with courts and law firms continuing their work despite the looming threat. The Pakistani authorities have vowed to take swift action against those responsible, but it's unclear whether they will be able to curb the spate of violence before it escalates further.
The bombing has also raised concerns about the stability of Pakistan's justice system, which is already struggling with corruption and inefficiency. With the government facing mounting pressure to address these issues, the attack may prove to be a turning point in the country's struggle for reform.
