During interrogation, Sajidullah alias Sheena, the handler of the suicide bomber, confessed that the group’s\u00a0Commander Saeed-ur-Rehman alias Daadullah \u2014 based in Afghanistan and serving as TTP\u2019s Intelligence Chief for Nawagai, Bajaur \u2014 had directed him via Telegram to carry out the attack targeting law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n

Daadullah provided pictures of the suicide bomber, Usman alias Qari, a resident of Achin, Nangarhar, Afghanistan, and belonging to the Shinwari tribe, according to the state.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sajidullah arranged his stay in a residence near Islamabad after his entry into Pakistan. Following Daadullah\u2019s instructions, Sajidullah collected a suicide jacket from Akhun Baba graveyard in Peshawar and delivered it to Islamabad. On the day of the blast at the Judicial Complex, he fitted the suicide jacket on Usman alias Qari.<\/p>\n

Fitna al-Khawarij\u201d is the term the state uses\u00a0for terrorists affiliated with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), while \u201cFitna al-Hindustan\u201d refers to Indian-backed extremist proxies.<\/p>\n

Government authorities confirmed that the network was controlled by the group’s\u00a0high command in Afghanistan. The arrested cell includes the commander and three other members. Investigations are ongoing, with further arrests and revelations expected.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the blast as a \u201ccowardly terrorist act orchestrated by India-backed networks,\u201d while Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said preliminary evidence linked the Islamabad and Wana attacks to groups operating from Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
