Most of the victims were officers from an elite counter-terrorism force, the Special Services Group, who were having dinner when the bomber blew himself up in their dining hall. Local TV reported that the troops targeted at the barracks took part in the raid against Lal Masjid, which killed around 90 students and 11 soldiers. Geo television reported that police were allowed to enter the site of the blast for the first time on Saturday at 11am to participate in the investigation. A guard, Ismail, told police that he saw a bearded youth wearing white clothes and a white cap heading towards the soldiersÂ’ mess on a bicycle. He said he thought the boy was taking food for the soldiers, but there was a huge blast that destroyed the main hall after the boy entered the mess. According to police, the body of the bomber was divided into two parts. |
