The Muslim World League (MWL) condemned on Tuesday the suicide bombing near the judicial court complex in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad.

In a statement, MWL Secretary-General and Council of Muslim Scholars Chairman Sheikh Dr. Muhammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa denounced the “treacherous terrorist crime that left dozens of victims.”

He reiterated the MWL's position of rejecting and condemning violence and terrorism in all forms, expressing full solidarity with Pakistan in confronting all that threatens its security and stability.

Al-Issa offered his condolences to the families of the victims and wished the injured a speedy recovery.

A suicide bomber struck outside a court in Pakistan's capital Tuesday, detonating his explosives next to a police car and killing 12 people in the latest of an uptick in violence across the country.

The blast, which also wounded 27 people, was heard for miles and came at a time of day when the area outside the district court in Islamabad is typically crowded with hundreds of visitors.

A breakaway faction of the Pakistani Taliban, the Jamaat-ul-Ahrar group, claimed responsibility for the attack, in messages to reporters from the group's leader, Omar Mukkaram Khurasani. However, an influential commander within the group, Sarbakaf Mohmand, also sent messages disavowing any claim to the attack.
