Islamabad, December 02: Militants today struck Pakistan’s Naval Headquarters with a teenage suicide bomber blowing himself up at the gate of the complex here, killing a naval official and injuring three others, including a young boy.
In the brazen attack, the bomber approached the naval headquarters complex on Margalla Road, a key thoroughfare in the federal capital, on foot at 1.30 pm (local time) and blew himself up on being challenged by the guards, police said.
The attack on the Naval headquarters comes nearly two months after Taliban militants targeted the Army General Headquarters in the garrison town of Rawalpindi leaving 22 people, including 11 security personnel, dead.
The bomber was carrying heavy explosives wrapped around his body and he detonated it as the naval policemen tried to frisk him. The body parts of the bomber were scattered on the roadside, TV footage showed.
