31 Killed in Suicide Bombing at Karachi Police Compound, Families Praying Inside Mosque
A car packed with explosives slammed into the courtyard of the Karachi Police Training Institute on Friday, sending a shockwave through the compound's mosque where officers and their families were gathering for Friday prayers. The blast shattered the prayer hall's windows and ripped through the compound's perimeter fence, leaving 31 dead and more than 70 wounded. The attack underscores the increasing risk to Pakistan's law‑enforcement personnel even within supposedly secure environments. Authorities have called the incident a “terrorist act”
Despite common belief that suicide bombings are always carried out by lone individuals, data shows that over 60% of such attacks involve coordinated teams that plan logistics, procurement, and post‑attack escape routes.
