| Police have started looking for a “second suicide bomber” in connection with the Lahore High Court (LHC) suicide blast in which 22 people were killed. The footage obtained from two closed-circuit television cameras (CCTVs) installed near the blast site shows a man heading towards the site seconds before the blast, but survives the explosion. In the first footage, three cars can be seen heading towards The Mall from Ustad Allah Baksh Road. A 19-year-old boy who was carrying a bag on his one shoulder and a shawl on the other is seen approaching the policemen who were deployed outside the Lahore High Court (LHC) gate. Fifteen seconds after the boy is seen moving towards the policemen, a blast takes place. A wall that comes between the camera and the boy hinders further view. The second footage shows smoke, blood-splattered road, body parts and injured policemen on the site, but the boy is seen nowhere. The investigators are trying to ascertain the boy’s identity and that how he escaped the explosion or where did he go if he was injured as he is not found in this post-blast video. According to investigators, the boy was there to detonate himself if the first bomber failed to strike or was arrested. The boy’s disappearance from the blast site has become a mystery for the investigators. |
