US Strongly Condemns November 9 Pakistan Bombing, Vows Unwavering Commitment to Regional Security
The United States has strongly condemned the November 9 bombing at Quetta Railway Station in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, a tragic event that claimed at least 26 lives and injured 62 others. The attack has been claimed by the Balochistan Liberation Army’s Majeed Brigade. During a U.S. State Department briefing, Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel expressed condolences to the victims and their families, reiterating America’s shared interest in combating such threats alongside Pakistan. Patel emphasized the U.S.’s ongoing commitment to regional security and noted that the BLA has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. since 2019.
In the briefing, Patel also addressed comments regarding the Taliban’s stance on female leadership. He dismissed the group’s credibility on women’s issues, criticizing their restrictive policies that prevent women from fully participating in Afghan society. Patel asserted that such policies hinder the Taliban’s pursuit of international recognition.
Additionally, the briefing touched on the outcome of the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Donald Trump secured a second term, defeating Democratic candidate Kamala Harris with 295 electoral votes to her 226. Trump’s victory makes him the first U.S. president since 1892 to serve two non-consecutive terms, a feat only previously achieved by Grover Cleveland. Trump previously served as president from 2016 to 2020. This development marks a significant moment in U.S. political history, as Trump returns to the White House.
Overall, the U.S. reaffirms its commitment to working with Pakistan against terrorism while addressing evolving geopolitical dynamics, both domestically and internationally.
