Twin Blasts in POF Wah Cantt
Terrorists have struck again and once again the victims are the ordinary people of Pakistan, who were just ill at ease with their lives due to the mounting price hikes and the hard standards of living. Ordinary and poor people died in droves in the twin suicide blasts in the most critical region of Pakistan.
The Pakistani Ordnance Factories at Wah is a cluster of about 20 industrial units producing artillery, tank, and anti-aircraft ammunition for the Pakistan armed forces. It employs around 25,000 to 30,000 workers. POF Wah is famous for its indigenous capabilities and the state-of-the-art products of this outfit are in demand throughout the world.
It was a soft target due to the thousands of people gathering at one place rendering a gory opportunity for a hell bent suicide bomber. At least 70 people were killed and about 80 others injured in two suicide bomb blasts outside Pakistan’s main military arms factory in Wah Cantt. Two men apparently blew themselves up outside the factory during a shift change. The bombers were on foot and they exploded themselves less than a minute apart.
And Taibans, after accepting the responsibility have said that such attacks would go on.
