ISLAMABAD (TNS) Eradicating terrorists is being declared the government’s top priority. It is the responsibility of every Pakistani to stand against terrorism with their security forces. Whoever is responsible for the unrest in Pakistan, wherever he is, peace can be established in Pakistan only by eliminating him. According to senior Pakistani research analyst Asghar Ali Mubarak, measures against terrorism include public awareness, stopping financial support to terrorists, international cooperation and joint operations, increasing the capacity of the army and police, and promoting religious tolerance and interfaith unity.
It should be noted that India is operating a terrorist network in Pakistan behind closed doors. Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi says that India is providing all the funding and targeting of ISIS and the Taliban. Many terrorist groups are operating from Afghanistan. The Federal Interior Minister said that I am telling you clearly that India is providing all the funding and targeting the banned organizations. India has kept those terrorist organizations on the front. The Federal Minister said that India is operating behind closed doors. The world may not speak today, but one day every country will name India as the patron of terrorists. India has increased its budget three times since May. We know all these things. India is now trying this method because it did not win the war. Even if India increases its budget 10 times, we will defeat it. Be it Khyber Pakhtunkhwa or Balochistan, we are currently in a state of war. No one has escaped the attacks that have taken place in Balochistan. Community intelligence will have to be improved. Many terrorist plans have been foiled by the actions of intelligence agencies. The Interior Minister said that the BLA, which had arrested a total of four terrorists, has been declared banned globally. Terrorism is a regional threat; the world should raise its voice. The world should see, if this war goes elsewhere, who will suffer. When their funerals are held, they will say that India is doing it, we are fighting a war against terrorism, and we are holding our own funerals.
It should be noted that the countries that have controlled terrorism first stopped the funding of terrorists, due to which they could not recruit more people to join them. Secondly, the leaders of terrorist organizations were killed in intelligence-based operations. Until the main accused is killed, terrorism cannot end. Whoever is responsible for the unrest in Pakistan, wherever he is, peace can be established in Pakistan only by eliminating him.
Prime Minister of Pakistan Shahbaz Sharif has thanked friendly countries and world leaders for the messages of sympathy and solidarity received from around the world after the suicide attack in Islamabad.
The Prime Minister of Pakistan, in a statement on X, has reiterated his resolve that the perpetrators of this heinous crime will be brought to justice and their nefarious intentions will never be allowed to succeed.
It should be noted that 33 people were martyred and 162 people were injured in a suicide attack at an Imambargah in Islamabad.
In his message, the Prime Minister said that we are grateful for the messages of sympathy and solidarity we have received from around the world after the heartbreaking suicide attack in Islamabad.
The Prime Minister wrote that the support and cooperation of our friends and partners in Pakistan’s efforts to eradicate terrorism have always been very important. In this critical hour, the brave Pakistani nation remained united and remained as strong as before in its resolve to defeat terrorism.
On the other hand, the atmosphere in the area after the suicide blast is still mournful. According to initial investigations, four to six kilograms of explosives were used in the blast, while a large number of ball bearings were also used.
The suicide bomber first fired six shots from a pistol, went into the main hall of the mosque, and blew himself up. The suicide bomber was trained in Afghanistan, had a travel history, and the attacker’s identity card was found at the scene. The alleged suicide bomber has been identified as Yasir, son of Bahadur Khan. The attacker was a resident of Mohalla Qazian, Peshawar, and four relatives of the suicide bomber were also arrested from Peshawar. The initial investigation report has been completed,
On Friday, 33 people were martyred, and more than 160 were injured in a suicide attack at an Imambargah in the Tarlai area of Islamabad. Considerable progress has been made in the investigation of the Islamabad suicide attack.
The facilitators and terrorists of the suicide blast in Islamabad have been arrested, including the Afghan mastermind of the suicide attack. The Afghan mastermind of the suicide attack is affiliated with ISIS. According to security sources, 6 facilitators, including two Afghans, were arrested in Nowshera. Three people, including the attacker’s mother, were arrested in Rawalpindi, while a facilitator who provided information over the phone was caught in Karachi. ISIS planned, trained, and brainwashed the attackers. ISIS and other terrorist organizations, under the auspices of the Afghan Taliban, pose a major threat to peace. The operations were carried out as a result of technical and human intelligence. During the operation in Nowshera, one terrorist was killed. During the operation, a brave soldier was martyred, and 3 were injured. More intelligence-based operations are underway against the terrorists. The attacker reached Islamabad from Nowshera on the same day of the explosion. The terrorist used the Khanna route from Rawalpindi. The facilitator was in contact with Fitna-ul-Kharij in Afghanistan. Investigation revealed that the suicide bomber had visited Afghanistan 7 times. The attacker had also tied explosives to his chest and legs. Federal Information Minister Atta Tarar said that it is very unfortunate that Muslims were attacked during Friday prayers. Terrorists have no religion and their only goal is to spread unrest. The government has established a peace message committee, which comprises representatives from every major religious school of thought. The terrorists have now become weak, which is why they are carrying out operations in the suburban areas. It is known that the Tarlai attacker had gone to Afghanistan. The Federal Information Minister said that security issues have been discussed with Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, and the security of Imambargahs will be made more effective. He said that the cousin of IG Islamabad Police Nasir Rizvi has also been martyred in this incident, while the police force is discharging its responsibilities with full honesty, and more security measures will be taken. Terrorism has been completely eradicated, but the government brought terrorists back and settled them. We have taken effective actions against terrorists in the past, and they will not be left behind even now. It should be noted that Pakistani security forces have successfully completed Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-1 in Balochistan, during which 216 militants were killed, while 36 civilians and 22 security personnel also lost their lives. On January 31, a wave of attacks by the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) on more than 12 locations had almost shut down Pakistan’s largest province, after which the security forces had launched operations against these attacks. Pakistan’s security forces are simultaneously battling the BLA, BLF, TTP, and their political enablers. This is not just a challenge for Pakistan, but developed countries like the US, Europe, and the UK have also faced it. Without this expertise, Pakistan’s very existence would be at risk. Balochistan, which borders Iran and Afghanistan, has been facing separatist insurgency for decades, including attacks on security forces, infrastructure projects, and civilians. Pakistan has stepped up its operations against militants in the region in recent days. According to a statement issued by the ISPR, “a series of rapid and intelligence-based operations were carried out against ‘Indian-backed’ militant elements, who wanted to destroy peace and development by targeting innocent civilians, including women and children.” According to the ISPR, intelligence-based operations were launched in the Panjgur district of Balochistan and the outskirts of Harnai on January 29 last week, resulting in the killing of 41 militants, who were “belonging to Indian proxy networks.” Later, aggressive and determined actions by the brave security forces thwarted the efforts of the Indian seditionists to disrupt the peace of Balochistan. Subsequently, extensive intelligence-led operations were launched in several areas to eliminate the sleeper cells of the terrorists, including continuous search and sanitization operations. It was further stated that “through careful planning, actionable intelligence and joint execution, Pakistan’s security forces and law enforcement agencies, with the help of intelligence agencies, carried out effective and determined operations under Operation Radd-ul-Fitnah-1. These coordinated operations and clearance operations resulted in the killing of 216 militants, “which severely damaged the leadership, command and control structure and operational capabilities of the terrorist networks.”According to the ISPR, ‘foreign-made weapons, ammunition, explosives and equipment’ were also recovered from the militants’ possession. Initial analysis suggests that these extremist proxies were provided with systematic external assistance and logistical support. During these operations, 36 civilians, including women and children, and 22 personnel of security forces and law enforcement agencies also lost their lives. According to the ISPR, the armed forces of Pakistan are determined to fight terrorism in all its forms and manifestations under the National Action Plan of the Government of Pakistan, and counter-terrorism operations will continue until the complete elimination of terrorist threats. Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif praised the professionalism of the security forces for the success of Operation Radd-ul-Fitna-1 in Balochistan and appreciated them for killing 216 terrorists. According to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office, Shahbaz Sharif expressed deep sorrow over the deaths of 36 civilians. At the same time, he paid tribute to the 22 security personnel who lost their lives and said that ‘the Pakistani nation can never forget the sacrifice of its martyrs.’ He further said that ‘by targeting innocent citizens of Balochistan, terrorists have proven that they are enemies of the progress and prosperity of Balochistan and the people.’ At the same time, he reiterated his resolve to continue the war against it until the ‘complete eradication of the monster of terrorism from the country’. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that after the defeat in the war of May last year, India is intensifying ‘terrorism in Pakistan through its proxies’, but Pakistani forces will ‘deal with the puppets involved in Indian terrorism the same way as the Indian aircraft did in the war of truth.’ The Prime Minister said: ‘After suffering a humiliating defeat in the war of truth, India is once again intensifying terrorism in Pakistan through its proxies. Terrorism by India continues, and I want to state very clearly here that peace in the region cannot be established unless India abandons its aggressive, expansionist, and hegemonic ambitions and its nefarious conspiracies. He also said: “By the grace of Allah, the brave army and security forces of Pakistan will deal with the puppets involved in Indian terrorism the same way as the Indian aircraft were dealt with in the war of justice.”
Pakistan has urged the United Nations Security Council to move quickly to designate the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) as a terrorist organization under its sanctions regime. In August last year, the US State Department had added the BLA and its Majeed Brigade to its list of foreign terrorist organizations. Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Asim Iftikhar Ahmed, told the Security Council in a briefing on ‘threats to international peace and security’ due to terrorist acts that a request to include the BLA in the Council’s list of terrorist organizations is already under consideration. On January 31, 2026, the banned separatist organization Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) carried out ‘coordinated attacks’ under ‘Operation Herove 2.0’ at 12 different locations in Balochistan, which, according to security forces, were foiled, and more than 100 militants were killed. Earlier on Friday, the Pakistani army had said that ‘41 Indian-backed terrorists’ were killed in two separate operations by security forces in the province. On Sunday, February 1, Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti had said that security forces had killed 145 militants in the last 40 hours, which he said was ‘the highest number ever in such a short period of time during Pakistan’s war on terror.’ The recent attacks also killed 48 Pakistani citizens, including 31 civilians, five women, and three children. The members of the Security Council strongly condemned the recent attacks in Balochistan and urged that “the perpetrators, planners, financiers and sponsors of these heinous terrorist acts be held accountable and brought to justice.” We hope that the Council will act expeditiously to designate the BLA under the 1267 sanctions regime by approving the listing request currently under consideration. It should be noted that Prime Minister of Pakistan Shahbaz Sharif has thanked friendly countries and world leaders for the messages of sympathy and solidarity received from around the world after the suicide attack in Islamabad. The Prime Minister of Pakistan, in a statement on X, reiterated his resolve that the perpetrators of this heinous crime will be brought to justice and their nefarious intentions will never be allowed to succeed.
