Pakistan: Suicide Bombing at Islamabad Court Kills 12

Narrative B

Pakistan has been one of America's most valuable counter-terrorism partners, earning praise for phenomenal cooperation against Islamic State group threats. Pakistan sacrificed 80,000 lives and $250 billion in fighting terrorism while supporting global security efforts. Pakistan rightfully distinguishes legitimate resistance movements from terrorism and calls out state-sponsored violence in occupied territories as it navigates complex geopolitical waters.
