Quetta-blast: Judicial commission exposes gaps in anti-terror shield

Islamabad (Web Desk): A one-man judicial investigation commission of the August 8 deadly terrorist attack in Quetta points out ‘monumental failure’ of the interior ministry to combat terrorism.

It utters that the ‘irresponsible’ post-attack statements of Balochistan’s chief minister and home minister subverted the credibility of the provincial government.

The derogatory report, made public by the Supreme Court on Thursday, has been compiled by Justice Qazi Faez Isa of the Supreme Court.

The judicial commission was tasked to investigate the deadly gun attack on Bilal Anwar Kasi, the president of Balochistan Bar Association, and the subsequent suicide bombing at Quetta’s Civil Hospital in which 70 people, mostly lawyers, were killed.
