Pakistani Police Station Targeted In Islamabad Bomb Attack
Pakistan News Updates
24 March 2009
Al-Jazeera -- A suicide bomber has
struck a police station in the Pakistani capital,
killing a police officer.
At least two policemen were in a critical condition
following Monday's attack on a station that houses
police intelligence and bomb disposal units in
Islamabad.
Witnesses said body parts were strewn across the
ground and that the blast could be heard across much
of the city centre.
The attack came amid scaled down ceremonies to mark
the country's Republic Day.
Police said the attacker tried to enter the Special
Branch office and, when guards tried to stop him, he
blew himself up.
Police moved quickly to cordon off the area, which is
near the central Sitara market.
Rehman Malik, Pakistan's interior minister, inspected
the site of the blast, saying he has been warning of
possible attacks for some time.
He told Al Jazeera that up to seven suicide bombers
could be in Islamabad, ready to carry out operations.
Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr, reporting from the scene,
said it was still too early to say who was
responsible.
She said Pakistanis were expressing their dismay at
the inability of security forces to prevent such
attacks.
"Islamabad has not been spared in the recent wave of
violence across Pakistan, and there have been special
security measures all across Islamabad," Khodr
reported.
Pakistan was marking Republic Day on Monday, although
celebrations and the traditional military parades had
been called off due to security concerns.
