ISLAMABAD: The deaths of 16 people in a suicide attack near lawyers convention site at Islamabad Kutchehry have been confirmed on Wednesday. Over 50 people are injured.
After the suicide attack, 67 people were brought to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, among them 13 were confirmed to have died.
(The News)
The News printed a number of the names of the victims, many of whom were apparently prominent lawyers (I'm guessing, based on the fact that the bombing took place at a convention for lawyers) or politicians.
As terrible as this is for the victims, it will continue to polarize moderate Muslims against their extremist counterparts. If that results in the marginalization of extremist Islam, then that's a good thing.
