\nInterim Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti said Saturday that the Indian intelligence agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), is involved in carrying out terror incidents in Pakistan.
\nOn Friday, the county was rocked by two suicide blasts in the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, which caused several casualties and left many others injured.
\nAddressing a press conference in Quetta, Bugti vowed to establish the writ of the state at all costs.
\nBugti said that the authorities knew who was involved in these activities and would avenge every drop of blood of Pakistanis.
\nThe minister also pledged to utilise all resources to eliminate terrorism, stressing that there\u2019s no place for militants and their facilitators in the country.
\n\u201cWe know who is doing it and from where,\u201d Bugti maintained.
\nAt least 52 people including a cop died and 60 others were injured when a suicide bomber targeted an Eid Milad un Nabi procession in the remote district of Mastung, Balochistan. Meanwhile in KP\u2019s Hangu, another suicide blast ripped through a mosque, leaving five dead \u2014 including a policeman \u2014 and 12 injured.
\nBoth attacks took place on Friday during the preparations for Friday prayers and celebrations of Prophet Muhammad\u2019s (PBUH) birth anniversary.
\nMeanwhile, a case against the suicide attack during the preparation for the Eid Miladun Nabi procession in Balochistan\u2019s Mastung district has been registered against unknown attackers at the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) police station in Quetta.
\nThe culprits have been booked under the murder, attempted murder, Anti-Terrorism and Explosive Act, a CTD spokesperson told Geo News.
