Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said Friday's latest bombing would "not shatter our unflinching resolve in our war against terrorism". He also said authorities had arrested more than 300 people attempting to set up an Islamic State operation in Pakistan. Militants operating in Pakistan - including the Afghan and Pakistani Taliban groups, al Qaeda and the Haqqani network - seek to establish strict Islamic rule. Still others target Pakistan's regional rival India to the east. The US and others have accused Pakistan of selectively cracking down on militants that attack its own government, while sparing groups that attack in Afghanistan.
