On March 26, a convoy carrying Chinese engineers was targeted by a car-borne suicide bomber in Bisham, an isolated district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, killing six people, including the driver.
Traveling from Islamabad, the Chinese engineers proceeded to their camp at Dasu, the district headquarters of KPK Upper Kohistan. A vehicle full of explosives collided with his car coming from the opposite direction near Lahore Nala on the Karakoram Highway.
For a long time, Islamabad has accused Kabul of not doing enough to stop TTP militants who are said to be hiding out of Afghanistan. Kabul denies the allegations.
According to Naqvi, the terrorists responsible for the attack on Chinese citizens in Bisham have been captured. The incident was carried out by TTP. He revealed that TTP militants, operating out of Afghanistan, were responsible for the March 26 suicide attack targeting Chinese engineers.
