“Pakistan’s military says it has arrested four ‘facilitators’ who helped the attacker in Friday’s deadly Islamabad mosque bombing as authorities intensify a security crackdown amid rising concerns over cross-border attacks. Thousands of mourners gathered in the capital on Saturday to bury the victims of the attack, which killed at least 32 worshippers and injured 170 others, officials said. … The military alleged that the ‘planning, training, and indoctrination for the attack took place in Afghanistan,’ adding that under ‘Afghan Taliban patronage, extremist groups continue to pose a serious threat to regional and global peace.'” (02/07/26)
