The investigation into the recent terrorist attack on Peshawar Agriculture Training Institute (ATI) on Friday may be hindered as the closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras installed at the institute failed to capture the attack despite being in perfect working condition. ATI Vice-Principal Kamal Khattak on Sunday cited the absence of hard drive in a computer attached to the CCTV system as the reason behind no camera footage of the deadly attack, reported a private news outlet. However, lack of recording equipment, computer hard drive in this case, despite the passage of two years since the installation of CCTV cameras raises serious questions on the competence of ATI administration and the provincial government. In addition to that, CCTV cameras installed on University Road have been of no assistance as well after being damaged due to ongoing Peshawar Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. Hours after the operation to clear the attack site of terrorists on Friday, Pakistan Army had said the attack was orchestrated by militants based in Afghanistan.
