‘Last good deed’: Pakistani lawyer killed in Islamabad blast after helping strangers

ISLAMABAD: Senior lawyer Aslam Ghumman’s heart skipped a beat when television channels broke the news of a blast in Islamabad’s G-11 sector. His son, Zubair Ghumman, had gone to that area only minutes earlier. Twelve people were killed and 36 wounded when a deadly suicide explosion took place outside a district court complex in Islamabad’s G-11 sector. Pakistan has suffered an uptick in militant violence in recent months in its western provinces bordering Afghanistan. Islamabad blames the attacks on militants based in Afghanistan, a charge Kabul denies.
