The Spin


Narrative A

This is nothing more than a barbaric attack on innocent civilians by a terror group funded by Delhi. India is looking to sow discord in Pakistan, including efforts to undermine Pakistan's reputation while the country is playing a leading role in mediating an international conflict.

Narrative B

The Baloch Liberation Army carried out this attack following a highly complex, considered and joint operation by three specialist units, including the intelligence wing. It killed 82 military personnel and 121 more were injured.
