The attack followed a suicide vehicle bombing at a police checkpoint that claimed at least 12 lives and injured around 35 others, according to officials. The majority of the casualties were security personnel and passersby. The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attacks. President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the violence, calling it highly condemnable and demanding intensified action against the Pakistani Taliban, which they blame for heinous acts with foreign support.",
