At least 31 worshippers were brutally slaughtered and over 169 injured in a devastating bombing at a Shiite mosque on the outskirts of Islamabad during Friday prayers, a massacre that has left many questioning how such a heinous attack could occur in the heart of the nation's capital.
The explosion, which was described as massive, marked one of the deadliest attacks to hit the city in nearly two decades. The investigation into the attack is ongoing, with officials now saying they are considering it a suicide bombing. However, the exact circumstances surrounding the attack are still unclear and are being probed by authorities.
In the wake of this horrific incident, residents took to social media to express their outrage and disgust at what they saw as a clear failure on the part of the authorities to ensure public safety. The government was accused of not doing enough to protect its citizens, particularly in vulnerable areas such as mosques where people gather to pray.
This latest attack is just the latest in a string of deadly incidents targeting Shiites across Pakistan, and comes at a time when the country is already grappling with an insurgency in Balochistan, which has left many regions on high alert.

it dont make sense how this kinda thing can happen in the middle of a city its like they forgot that ppl r human beings 
and not just numbers or targets for attacks i dont think the gov can be blamed alone its more like the whole system failed them u feel me? 
This attack is absolutely heartbreaking. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the scale of destruction and loss of life. How can something like this happen in our own backyard? 
The fact that innocent people were just going about their Friday prayers, minding their own business, and then suddenly find themselves in the middle of a war zone is just devastating.
. And most importantly, I hope the families of the victims can find some semblance of peace and comfort in these difficult times 
.
and what about those ppl who are already livin in fear because of the insurgency, can we just focus on keeping them safe for once? 
this attack is a total failure of security measures, plain & simple
