Stand With Pakistan In Fight Against Terrorism, Says US
The United States said it stands with Pakistan in its fight against terrorism following a deadly suicide bombing in Islamabad that killed at least 12 people and wounded 27 others.
In a statement posted on X, the US Embassy in Islamabad condemned Tuesday’s attack near the city’s judicial complex and reaffirmed Washington’s support for Pakistan’s efforts to promote peace and stability.
The blast occurred on Tuesday, 11 November, near the Islamabad Judicial Complex in the G-11 area. Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a splinter faction of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was carried out inside the judicial compound.
The TTP later issued a separate statement denying any involvement and distancing itself from the bombing.
Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif called the attack a serious warning for the country, saying the Taliban had “brought the war inside Pakistan’s borders.” He added that believing negotiations with the group could succeed was “a mistake.”
