Islamabad Imam Bargah Blast: Inside Pakistan’s Security Collapse | Baqir Sajjad Breaks It Down

On February 6, Islamabad witnessed one of its deadliest sectarian attacks in years. A suicide bomber struck the Khadijatul Kubra Imam Bargah during Friday prayers, killing at least 31 people and injuring more than 169. This devastating attack occurred despite the capital being on high security alert due to the presence of a foreign dignitary, the Uzbek President, raising critical questions about Pakistan’s counterterror posture, its sectarian fault lines, and the resurgence of extremist violence. In Episode 111 of Unraveled, veteran journalist Baqir Sajjad of Dawn joins us to dissect the attack, examine the evolution of sectarian militancy, and assess the failures that allowed this tragedy to unfold in the country’s capital. We Unravel: 1. Why Islamabad’s supposedly “secure city” failed, even with cameras, checkpoints, and high alert protocols. 2. ISKP’s role in Pakistan’s new terrorism landscape—and its links with local groups. 3. The dangerous resurgence of sectarian incitement, including rallies and hate sermons, occurred simultaneously with the attack. 4. Possible facilitators, the attacker’s movements, and the troubling questions surrounding his identification. 5. Why have the targeted killings of Shias and Ahmadis never stopped, even when large-scale attacks temporarily decreased? 6. The geopolitical layer—from Pakistan’s position on Middle East tensions to retaliatory scenarios. This episode also pays tribute to Shaheed Aun Abbas, the brave individual who confronted the attacker and likely saved dozens of lives. This is a critical conversation for anyone following Pakistan’s security challenges, sectarian politics, extremist networks, and state accountability. #IslamabadAttack #PakistanTerrorism #SectarianViolence #ISKP #ShiaMosqueAttack #PakistanSecurity #UnraveledWithMarviSirmed #BaqirSajjad #IslamabadBlast #Counterterrorism #SouthAsiaSecurity #PakistanNews Subscribe to our channel:    / @newwaveglobal   New Wave Global Website: https://newwaveglobal.net/ Follow us on Twitter:   / newwaveglobal_   Like us on Facebook:   / newwaveglobal   Follow us on Instagram:   / newwaveglobal_   Follow New Wave Global on Whatsapp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaJo...
