Investigators now focus on facilitators with security at sensitive sites under stricter controls.

Overview

  • NADRA has confirmed all three suicide bombers who struck the Federal Constabulary headquarters on November 24 were Afghan citizens, according to investigators.
  • Police say more than 100 suspects have been questioned, over 27 shell casings were recovered, and CCTV traces the attackers from Rahman Baba cemetery to the FC complex.
  • Investigators report the bombers used no mobile phones on the day of the assault and teams are working to identify and locate facilitators.
  • Security outside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi has been reinforced under a special plan with five additional checkpoints on Adiala Jail Road and over 700 officers deployed amid tensions over access to the jailed PTI founder.
