Punjab Home Minister Col (r) Shuja Khanzada was killed along with dozens of others in a suicide blast at his political office in Shadi Khan near Attock on Sunday.

Adviser to Punjab CM Shahbaz Sharif, Dr Saeed Elahi, confirmed Khanzada’s death. “Home Minister Shuja Khanzada was killed in the suicide blast.”

Police said the blast appeared to be a large bomb, and it had caused the roof to cave in as Khanzada held meetings with supporters in his hometown of Attock. Khanzada was trapped under the rubble along with 24 other people as the entire structure of his office building collapsed.

“The bodies of eight people have been pulled out from the rubble,” Zahid Saeed, the commissioner of Rawalpindi, told reporters, adding it was a suicide attack.

“There were between 20 and 30 people present when the blast took place,” district information officer Shahzad Niaz told Reuters. “The roof collapsed.”

Rescue workers at the scene said eight bodies had been recovered so far. DSP Hazro Shaukat Shah was among the dead. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Earlier, Punjab Home Department Secretary Azam Suleman told The Express Tribune that Shuja Khanzada was critically injured and trapped under debris.

“From the evidence available, it seems that it was a suicide blast,” Shuja Khanzada’s son said, according to Express News. Further, Khanzada’s nephew appealed to Pakistan Army to help with rescue efforts.

Police and rescue teams have reached the site and rescue efforts are underway. An emergency has been declared in hospitals in the twin cities. Further, Inter Services Public Relations said, “Pakistan Army’s special urban search and rescue teams have reached the blast site.”

Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar directed for the provision of helicopters from the Interior Ministry for shifting the injured on an emergency basis. Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has taken notice of the blast and DPO Attock has reached the site.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the blast at Khanzada’s residence and called for immediate rescue measures and medical aid for the injured.

Rescue efforts underway outside Khanzada’s political office

Khanzada was given charge of the provincial home department in October 2014. He previously held positions as Punjab provincial minister and adviser to Punjab chief minister.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari condemns blast

Meanwhile, Pakistan People’s Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari condemned the attack on Khanzada’s political office and stressed forging unity in the national ranks to eliminate the scourge of terrorism.

In a statement released by PPP’s media cell on Sunday, Bilawal said, “Such cowardly attacks cannot lower the morale of the nation which has risen up against bloodshed and terrorism.”

The PPP chairman also prayed for those who lost their lives in the attack and wished for the early recovery of the injured.

This is a developing story and will be updated accordingly.

if terrorists wanted to kill him then he must have been trying to do something good.

Not necessarily. Countless Pakistanis who died in terrorist attacks were up to something good? He was a high profile target and terrorists knew this would make a big news.
