Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has said that the mastermind of the Islamabad attack has been arrested.
A suicide attack on a Shia mosque in Islamabad's Imambara on Friday killed 31 people.
Home Minister Naqvi said during a press conference on Saturday that the mastermind of the attack was an Afghan national with links to ISIS, BBC Hindi reported.
Four people have been arrested in the incident, who are suspected of helping in the suicide bombing attack on the mosque. Naqvi claims that the mastermind was also involved in the attack among the four arrested. He claims that the entire planning and training of the attack took place in Afghanistan.
Naqvi said, "We now have such people in custody who have given full information about how the attacker was brought and trained this time."
He also claimed that the roots of the terrorists in Pakistan are in Afghanistan. However, the Taliban government in Afghanistan has been denying Pakistan's claim.
