Federal Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan claimed earlier today that the bomber and mastermind of last week’s suicide blast in Shikarpur have been identified.
Over 60 people were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up in an imambargah in Sindh on Jan 30, leaving dozens injured.
Briefing the National Assembly over progress into the carnage investigation, the minister claimed headway in the inquiry, saying that both bomber and mastermind of the attack have been identified.
He claimed that all of the attackers of Peshawar school were killed by security forces in retaliation and that none could flee, as claimed by some media outlets.
The interior Minister, in his address to the house, pledged that the government would continue its operation against terrorists to’ avenge’ the bloodshed in Peshawar and Shikarpur.
