Lahore Blast: Who is Yusuf and who was the bomber?

LAHORE: A group of terrorists is believed to be involved in yesterday’s deadly suicide attack on the park. Police officials are still unable to identify the suicide attacker who took 72 lives and injured over 300 people in the attack.

Muhammad Yusuf resident of Muzaffar Garh was identified as the killer after the initial investigation and a photograph of his National Identity Card (NIC) found on the scene was released to the media.

Yusuf is said to be a key worker of banned Sipah-e-Sahaba and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi. It was also reported that he has recruited several people for terrorist groups in Muzaffar Garh and other cities of Southern Punjab however later on police informed Prime Minister in a briefing that Yusuf’s body has been found from the scene and he was not the suicide bomber in this attack.

A sketch of the bomber was then released to the media however the name and identity of this bomber is still unknown, he is believed to be between 15-18 years of age and of Tajik origins.

Yusuf was then proclaimed the handler of this suicide attacker however authorities did not confirm this as a matter of fact the identity or identities of the people involved in this attack is still unclear to the police and authorities.

Media also reported that authorities have reason to believe that several attackers were present at the scene along with the suicide attacker and they fled the scene after the blast. An important question left unanswered so far is that, if there were more accomplices on the scene why didn’t Yusuf flee with them?

Police department and security agencies are investigating the matter and it is expected that the matter would be clarified very soon.
