LAHORE: Punjab Home Minister Col.(retd) Shuja Khanzada said the bomber who carried out the Wagah border attack was transported to the bombing site on a truck.

Speaking during an interview on DawnNews, Khanzada gave details as to the background of the individual who carried out the attack.

He said the investigation into the Wagah border attack is still ongoing and that to blame a particular individual would not be prudent.

“We found a handkerchief on which ‘congratulations on martyrdom’ was written in Pashto,” he said.

“Based on that evidence we can tell that the individual was Pashto speaking,” said Khanzada.

During the interview he stated that intelligence reports pointed out to the possibility of at least four bombers carrying out an attack.

“The intelligence suggested that there would be at least four to five suicide bombers,” he said.

“The information we received is that the bomber was transported by truck… we also found a suicide jacket in a parking lot, which we disarmed,” said the Punjab home minister.

Khanzada said that truckers and drivers from Khyber-Pakhtunkhawa and Balochistan have also been rounded up in connection with the bombing.

The Jamaat-ul-Ahrar splinter group of the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the Wagah border attack.

Its spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan has said that it was carried out by one of their men.
