Pretty bad, things have been pretty calm for a while.

Especially in Islamabad, theres barely been any blasts there for the past 3/4 years! Lets hope this isn't a major blast and no one looses their lives!

If somebody needs to bomb Isl-Rwp, please place your bomb either in the NA or the GHQ and spare us unimportant folks.

Sihala is technically not inside Islamabad, it's 30 mins away from Islamabad city. It is on the outskirts of Islamabad. But some people were even initially saying that Abbottabad was part of Islamabad.

seems like similar to ojri camp blast at the end of soviet war, and ojri camp blast was done by CIA

Looks like an accident.

Can be an accident.

Sihala is indeed not in Islamabad, it's some way off the Highway.
Geo reporting that short circuit caused the accident and three people as wounded.
