Something happened in Pakistan, and this time, Chinese were implicated.
According to the information released by the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan, at about 2:20 p.m. local time on April 26, the shuttle bus of the Confucius Institute at Karachi University in Pakistan's Sindh province was attacked by a terrorist attack on the campus.
As a result, 3 Chinese teachers and 1 Pakistani division were in difficulty, 1 Chinese teacher and 1 Pakistani guard were injured, and the injured have been urgently sent to the hospital for treatment.

The Global Times reporter learned from the staff of the Confucius Institute at the University of Karachi that at that time, a vehicle carrying a number of college teachers was driving towards the confucius institute office, and the surveillance video saw a woman wearing a black burqa standing next to the road, suspected that after the vehicle drove over, it detonated a human bomb, the scene ignited a fire, and the woman died on the spot.

Who is behind the planning of such a large terrorist attack?
According to Pakistani media reports, after the incident, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), which is classified as a terrorist organization in many countries, declared it responsible for the incident, and the group said that a woman belonging to the "Majid Brigade" carried out a suicide attack.
The woman, whose name is Sally Baloch and holds a master's degree in education, said goodbye to the world by posting her last tweet on social media at 12:10 two hours before the incident.

Combined with all the details, the bombing in Pakistan is really not simple.
First, time is sensitive
Not long ago, the political situation in Pakistan was fiercely turbulent. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan was ousted by referendum and Shabbaz Sharif became Pakistan's prime minister, sparking a massive demonstration during the process.
Less than a month after the new prime minister came to power, such a big thing happened, whether it was deliberate or not, naturally there is no need to say more.
Second, the location is arrogant
In recent years, Pakistan has repeatedly experienced similar terrorist attacks, and Pakistan has repeatedly promised china to protect the security of its Chinese friends as it protects its own people.
Pakistan has indeed taken many measures to effectively combat the arrogance of terrorists. However, the open gun is easy to dodge the dark arrow, and the location of this terrorist attack is really unexpected.
It happened on the campus of the University of Karachi, outside the Confucius Institute, what does this mean? I am afraid that the security loopholes in this school have been known to the attackers, and it is urgent to fill the loopholes and strengthen security protection.
Third, the purpose is clear
The terrorist attack was by no means an improvisation, but a well-planned layout, china-Pakistan relations are notoriously iron in the world, and confucius institutes will certainly have many Chinese teachers. The attackers specifically picked this school, and then specially squatted and waited for the school bus to arrive, which was obviously aimed at Chinese.
Their aim is to put pressure on the Pakistani government and undermine The friendship between China and Pakistan by harming the Chinese.

Fourth, the action is very hidden
According to BLA, the attacker had a master's degree, and she was likely to have infiltrated the school through a job before that, and under the long period of lurking, she knew the regularity of the internal personnel of the campus.
Such actions are naturally difficult to perceive.
Fifth, the means are very poisonous
Since last year, the terrorist organization has carried out a series of extreme changes Chinese in the means by which the organization carried out terrorist attacks, starting with the use of suicide attacks many times, and even the use of children as "human bombs" to carry out attacks, this time using female identity to make victims relax their vigilance.
Some experts believe that this may mean that the organization has received financial assistance or other support from some forces, which has escalated their willingness and means to launch attacks.

Sixth, it is very cunning to do things
The full name of the BLA group is the "Balochistan Liberation Army", and it can be seen from the name that their old nest is in Balochistan, but this time the organization attacked in Karachi, not against Baloch as before.
On the one hand, due to the increasing security precautions of Pakistan and China against Balochistan, on the other hand, it also means that the scope of the organization has begun to expand, and it is difficult to say where it will be targeted next.
In the early morning of Beijing time on the 27th, the Chinese Foreign Ministry contacted the Pakistani side for the first time and urged the relevant departments of the Pakistani side to do a good job in the treatment of the aftermath and the injured, and resolutely crack down on the terrorist organizations involved in the case.
"Chinese blood can't flow in vain, and the black hand behind the scenes must pay the price!"
Pakistani Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif went to the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan that night and wrote a condemnation statement on a piece of paper with the Chinese national emblem on it:
"I am deeply saddened and bitterdened by the loss of precious lives to our close Chinese friends in the terrorist attacks that spoke out in Karachi today, and all Pakistanis mourn their passing and their families. We will work to eliminate all illegal militants and terrorists in Pakistan, and we will not rest until the culprits are brought to justice. ”
China-Pakistan relations are not ordinary relations, and this statement shows the determination of little Sharif to fight terrorism.
Those Chinese teachers who go to Pakistan to teach may be precisely for the sake of Sino-Pakistani relations and can build a bridge of profound exchanges between the two countries.
Such tragedies are infuriating and sad.
However, as a close partner of China, Pakistan's "anti-China" forces in Pakistan are still a very small minority after all, and most people are very friendly to Chinese. Perhaps the terrorist organization is aiming at this point, believing that China-Pakistan relations are the "soft underbelly" of the Pakistani government, so it tries to use violent means to make the relations between the two countries dust.
In this regard, Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif Jr. claimed that the evil plot of the enemy will not affect the close cooperation between China and Pakistan, nor will it weaken the iron friendship between the Chinese and Pakistani peoples.

At present, Pakistan has just undergone a change of government, and the domestic security situation is not optimistic, and this attack once again proves the complexity and eagerness of the terrorist forces in Pakistan.
Some analysts believe that due to the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, which has brought great stimulation to the overall situation in South Asia, since last year, terrorist incidents in Pakistan have become rampant, and even not only Pakistan, but also other surrounding areas have also had similar incidents from time to time, and the means and methods of terrorist attacks have become more radical and extreme than ever.
Are there any foreign forces stirring up the water? There is no definite evidence for the time being, but everything is too coincidental and seems ghostly. Let's not make relevant speculations, we hope that the relevant departments will arrest the elements involved in the case as soon as possible and seek justice for the victims, and the blood of compatriots cannot be shed in vain!
May the dead rest in peace and the wounded peace.
