ISLAMABAD / MANSEHRA: Stepping back from its earlier position that the blast on Chinese workers’ bus was caused by accidental leakage of gas, the government on Thursday said it could potentially be a terrorism incident as traces of explosives had been detected on the wreckage of the bus and at the blast site.
Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said in a Twitter posting: “Initial investigations into Dasu incident have now confirmed traces of explosives, terrorism cannot be ruled out.”
The development came as China announced that it was sending a team to Pakistan to deal with the aftermath of the incident.
