The Prime Minister has spoken.

Not one, but two attacks were struck upon the people of Pakistan today.

The Chinese embassy in Karachi was attacked earlier this morning causing major mayhem in the Clifton area of the city. Two policemen lost their lives in the pursuit of three gunmen, all belonging to the Balochistan Liberation Army.

No word came from the government, until now.

Prime Minister Imran Khan took to Twitter to confirm that the two attacks were in fact planned and connected.

Strongly condemn the terrorist attacks against Chinese Consulate in Karachi & in Orakzai tribal area. My prayers go to the victims & their families. Salute the brave security/police personnel who gave their lives & denied success to terrorists in the mission ag Chinese Consulate.

I am absolutely clear both these attacks are part of a planned campaign to create unrest in the country by those who do not want Pakistan to prosper. Let there be no doubt in anyone's mind that we will crush the terrorists, whatever it takes. https://t.co/AhPpjsUGEq

The failed attack against the Chinese Consulate was clearly a reaction to the unprecedented trade agreements that resulted from our trip to China. The attack was intended to scare Chinese investors and undermine CPEC. These terrorists will not succeed.

It’s clear to see that the Prime Minister is sure who the blame of the attacks lies upon. We’ll just have to see if the rest of us find out as well and hope for the best.
