At least a dozen people were killed in a devastating suicide bombing near an entrance to a court in Pakistan's capital city, Islamabad. The attack, which occurred on November 11, is attributed to the Jamaat-ul-Ahrar militant group.
Eyewitnesses reported hearing an explosion and seeing multiple casualties. Local authorities are still working to confirm the exact number of fatalities and injuries, but it is understood that at least 12 people have been confirmed dead.
Jamaat-ul-Ahrar has claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement issued by the group. The motivations behind the bombing remain unclear, but Pakistan has seen an increase in militant attacks in recent years.
The Pakistani government's response to the attack is ongoing, with officials vowing to take action against those responsible for the violence.

think about it, december is a big month for terror attacks in pakistan and now this... what if its not just a random bombing? what if there's more to it than meets the eye? i'm not saying the govt is behind it or anything (i'm not paranoid enough for that lol), but there has to be more to this story. the timing, the location, everything feels too perfect 
what if jamaat-ul-ahrar wasn't just acting alone?
Like, innocent people just going about their day and then BAM! Some dude blows himself up right outside a court building? It's just horrific... 
I feel bad for the families of the victims and all. But at the same time, I think we gotta be careful not to jump to conclusions about what motivated this attack. Like, are we really sure it was just some lone wolf or was there more to it than that? 
I'm not saying we should let them get away with it, but can't we try to understand where they're coming from or is that just asking for more violence? 
just thinking about what happened in Islamabad yesterday is still giving me chills. it's like something straight out of a bad movie, you know? a court building, innocent people going about their day and then BAM! a suicide bombing happens. it's so senseless.
. the fact that this group claimed responsibility makes me think its not just about random terrorists but someone/something is fueling these attacks...like what's going on with pakistan? why are these attacks happening more often? we should really be thinking of ways to stop these violent acts 
. And the fact that it happened near a court building is just really concerning - how many people were supposed to be there at that time? 
I hope the Pakistani government can get their response sorted out soon and bring some sense of justice and calm back to the city 
.
but what about the people within their group who are probably just trying to survive? Like, aren't there some decent ones in there too? 
.
. It's like, what even is the point of all this violence? Can't we just talk to each other and try to understand where the other person is coming from? 
Pakistan's got some serious issues going on and it's time for a change... not more bombing and killing, but peace and love 
Just a bunch of dead people and a country in shambles... 
.
its just heartbreaking to see innocent people losing their lives in such a tragic way
