On the afternoon of July 5, local time, Pakistan relevant departments held a press conference that attracted much attention from the Chinese people. The theme of this press conference was the terrorist attack on the Confucius Institute at the University of Karachi that occurred a few months ago. After two months of hard work by the Pakistani anti-terrorism department, the case finally achieved a major breakthrough.
According to Sindh Information Minister Memon, the Pakistani anti-terrorism department successfully arrested a main suspect in the attack on the Confucius Institute at the University of Karachi. He is a member of the notorious " Balochistan Liberation Army " and "Balochistan Liberation Alliance Karachi" "The commander has a strong ability to manufacture improvised explosive devices . Since 2021, he has brainwashed some women and persuaded them to participate in suicide attacks and "jihad."
Pakistani officials emphasized that the purpose of terrorist attacks was to undermine China-Pakistan cooperation in all fields, especially economic cooperation and infrastructure construction. In this regard, Pakistan's security agencies will intensify their crackdown on terrorist forces and make every effort to protect the safety of everyone in Pakistan.
On April 26, local time, a woman wearing a burqa walked straight to a white Toyota van parked outside the Confucius Institute after entering the University of Karachi. At that time, it was time to get off work at noon, and the Chinese teachers took a van back to their station as usual, but what followed was a horrific car explosion.
It is reported that a total of 4 people were killed in this terrorist attack, including 3 Chinese citizens and 1 Pakistani driver, and a Chinese teacher was injured.
Immediately after the attack, Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif issued a public statement, condemning terrorists as Pakistan's "biggest enemies" and expressing condolences for the victims. On the same day, he also personally went to the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan to express his condolences.
The Chinese Embassy in Pakistan and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have also spoken out one after another, strongly condemning the terrorist acts and expressing deep condolences for the victims. There is no doubt that this was a suicide terrorist attack that was premeditated and deliberately targeted at Chinese citizens. The terrorists targeted teachers, and the nature of the attack was particularly bad. China expresses strong condemnation and great indignation about this, and will work with Pakistan to deal with it. aftermath and investigations.
As the only country that has established an "all-weather strategic partnership" with China, Pakistan has always been a representative of friendship towards China in the world. The two countries have maintained close high-level exchanges since the establishment of diplomatic relations. The friendship has not faded for more than 70 years, which can be called an international A "benchmark" in the history of relationships. However, in recent years, a series of terrorist attacks have occurred, which have had a serious impact on the economic and trade exchanges between the two countries and the construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative. In particular, the Dasu Hydropower Station shuttle bus explosion that occurred on July 14 last year killed a total of 9 Chinese citizens and 3 Pakistani citizens. It was the most significant loss suffered by Chinese enterprises in the process of "going global" in recent years.
One month after the Dasu Hydropower Station shuttle bus explosion, Pakistan announced the results of the investigation, emphasizing that the suspects involved in the terrorist attack were funded and supported by the Indian intelligence agency and planned in Afghanistan under the instruction of the authorities in New Delhi. The attack was finally carried out by a branch of the "Bata" organization.
colludes internally and externally. Foreign forces provide funds and intelligence, and domestic armed organizations are responsible for specific implementation. Under this set of "standard templates", terrorist attacks against Chinese citizens and engineering projects occur frequently in Pakistan.
Also at a press conference on July 5, the Pakistani anti-terrorism department stated that foreign forces were behind the Confucius Institute bombing and would continue to investigate the case.
Relevant experts said that although Pakistan Railway officials did not specify which "foreign power" specifically refers to, considering the geostrategic game and the international environment, the only possibility is the United States and India.
Needless to say, India’s Dasu Hydropower Station explosion has completely exposed its ambitions to the world. The New Delhi authorities have always been deeply wary of China-Pakistan cooperation. Needless to say, arms trade procurement, even the construction of the " China-Pakistan Economic Corridor " has to be criticized from the sidelines.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that India will copy the Dasu Hydropower Station shuttle bombing and undermine China-Pakistan cultural exchanges by funding the "Balochistan Liberation Army".
As for the United States, it also has a deep relationship with the "Balochistan Liberation Army". After the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, the United States began to fund armed organizations in Afghanistan and Pakistan on a large scale to oppose the Soviet army. The "Balochistan Liberation Army" took the opportunity to grow and develop. After the war in Afghanistan broke out, the "Balochistan Liberation Army", secretly funded by the U.S. intelligence agency, frequently collected intelligence on the Taliban and launched a series of terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
Last year, with the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, the White House 's influence in Central Asia was completely weakened. As a result, it can only realize its local strategic intentions by funding local armed organizations. The two parties, each getting what they need, naturally re-establish a "cooperative relationship."
Terrorism is the public enemy of all mankind. Foreign forces attempt to launch armed terrorist attacks by funding armed organizations to undermine the great cause of China-Pakistan cooperation and provoke the Chinese government. The result can only prove that this idea is too naive. The blood of the Chinese people cannot be shed in vain, and those behind the scenes must pay a corresponding price.
