Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has said that the real culprits of the Shangla attack will be brought to justice.
He gave the assurance to the special investigation team that came from China during a meeting at the Chinese embassy in Islamabad.
The Home Minister briefed China’s investigative team on the progress made so far in the investigation into the incident.
Measures related to the protection of Chinese citizens and general security were also discussed on the occasion.
The Home Minister also met the Chinese Ambassador and updated him on the investigation into the Shangla incident.
Earlier, a first information report (FIR) of the Shangla terror attack was registered on behalf of the state in the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) on Wednesday night.
According to the FIR, at least five Chinese nationals and their local driver were killed when a suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden car into their convoy.
The convoy consisting of 12 vehicles was traveling from Islamabad to Dasu Dam in Kohistan, when a suicide bomber hit one of the coaches with an explosives-laden vehicle, the FIR said.
The explosion caused a fire in the target vehicle which fell into a deep ditch, resulting in the death of six people.
Dasu is the site of a large dam, and the area has been attacked in the past. An explosion on a bus in 2013 killed 13 people, including nine Chinese nationals.
