On 26 March 2024, in Bisham Tehsil, Shangla District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, a suicide bomber attacked a bus transporting five Chinese engineers and their Pakistani driver on their way to the Dasu Dam, killing all of them.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Incident

The bomber rammed an explosive-filled car into the bus that was travelling from Islamabad to Kohistan on the Karakoram Highway.[7] No group took responsibility for the attack.[4] The Taliban-led government of Afghanistan also rejects Afghan involvement in the attack.[8]

This was the third attack on Chinese interests in Pakistan the same week, as a Pakistani naval base and a port used by China were also attacked by Baloch separatists. The Chinese Embassy in Pakistan told Chinese nationals in Pakistan to stay alert.[9]

Aftermath

Aftab Khan Sherpao, Central Chairman of Qaumi Watan Party, expressed concern in a tweet, saying that the attack was "proof of the rising tide of terrorism."[10]

On 29 March, Chinese investigators arrived in Pakistan to join a probe into the attack.[11] On 1 April, Pakistani police said that they had arrested 12 people in connection with the attack.[12]

On 23 May, the Economic Coordination Committee of the Cabinet decided to pay USD 2.58 million to the families of Chinese workers that died in the attack.[13]

It is for the Pakistani Govt to alley the apprehensions of the Chinese Govt and review/ reset it's security apparatus as there is no more room left for negligence
