On 5 September 2021, in Quetta, a terrorist on a motorcycle targeted a check post on Mastung Road, killing 4 FC personnel and injuring 20 others.[1][2]

The bombing

Police said the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber who drove his motorbike packed with six kilograms of explosives into a convoy of a law enforcement agency vehicle. Police and law enforcement agencies immediately began an investigation at the scene of the blast, led by a bomb squad.[3] Emergency services arrived on the scene shortly after the explosion.[4] According to police officials, the injured were shifted to Combined Military Hospital (CMH) and Sheikh Khalifah Bin Zayyad Hospital for medical treatment.[5]

Prime Minister Imran Khan, Federal Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari,[2] Governor Balochistan Syed Zahoor Ahmad Agha,[6] Shahbaz Shareef[7] and others condemned the suicide attack.[8]

Claim of responsibility

TTP claimed the responsibility,[9] which, according to Shireen Mazari, was sponsored by the RAW.[10][11]
