On 3 March 2014, gunmen attacked District Courts Complex in Sector F-8 of Islamabad, Pakistan. Eleven people were killed and twenty-five people were injured as a result of the attack.[1]
History[edit]
The assailants arrived at the courthouse around nine in the morning, carrying rifles and wearing suicide vests. The attackers first began throwing grenades at police officers who were at the scene. They then started shooting at people. When the police officers tried to attack back at the assailants, they blew themselves up.
It was originally not known who the attackers were, but later it was revealed that Ahrar-ul-Hind was the group behind the attack.[2]
