Chaudhry said that Daesh’s involvement in the attack cannot be established on the basis of a pamphlet purportedly left by militant group. However, he said, security agencies are investigating the attack.
A letter was left by the gunmen on Wednesday who attacked the bus carrying members of the Ismaili community.
Khorasan province, a division of the self-styled Islamic State (IS) in the Afghan-Pakistan region, claimed the deadly attack on the bus. In a message on Twitter, the group said 43 “apostates” were killed and more than 30 wounded in the attack. It did not give details of the attack.
In response to a question, the foreign secretary said that Pakistan is fighting a war on terror and this war is yet to be over.
