The prime minister also directed authorities to provide the injured with priority medical care. He vowed that those attempting to destabilise the country would not succeed and reiterated the government’s commitment to eradicating terrorism.

President Asif Ali Zardari strongly condemned the terrorist attack. The president paid tribute to the martyred personnel and extended heartfelt condolences to their families.

He reaffirmed that Pakistan will continue its struggle until terrorism is completely eradicated.

President Zardari said that such cowardly attacks cannot shake the nation’s resolve. He added that the state will not rest until the terrorists and their facilitators are brought to justice.

He also expressed his prayers and good wishes for the speedy recovery of the injured personnel.
