The chief justice said that it is incomprehensible how the incident took place in the presence of the Frontier Corps.
The chief justice maintained that the intelligence agencies have failed in providing security information. He further questioned why LeJ members have not been arrested yet.
The Supreme Court had taken a suo motu notice of the incident on Monday and had issued notices to Balochistan Advocate General, Muhammad Abdullah Khan Kakar and the Attorney General of Pakistan.
On Sunday, more than 80 people were killed in a bomb blast at a busy market in Quetta, most of them belonging to the Hazara Shia community. Banned terror outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi had claimed responsibility for the blast.

Because when you release Lal Masjid terrorists and sympathise with them, the security agencies get discouraged to deal with this menace with an iron hand.
Dear C.J. http://dawn.com/2011/07/19/lashkar-e-jhangvi-and-the-lack-of-evidence/
nothing is going to happen. Cj could do nothing... no one can do unless army not taking action.
I bet no terrorist will be prosecuted finally and hanged. This is all an eyewash by the army and judiciary.
Well i noticed people beefing about late action by cheaf justice although it was a bit late yet it was not late that is being condemed by few, infact it was due and on high time and needed to be appritiated that suo moto was taken against the barbaric act on hazara community
CJ also took a suo moto notice of target killings in Karachi and stated that all political parties in Karachi had militant wings...however nothing happened...nohing will happen this time as well...so as Dr. Hoodbhoy once said "Lets be proudly beghairat"
CJ of Pakistan must explain to citizens why LEJ leaders were released by the Judiciary after they were apprehended in the past. It was the Judiciary that released them, so CJ must stop playing to the gallery and start doing his job. People are not so dumb as to be taken in by posturing and arguments of convenience.
Chief Justice, It is your first step towards justice please take strict action..
Who released Malik Ishaq from prison, if not the brave and independent court?
Better late than never..
I am not optimistic about this . Lets see . Hopefully he will bring establishment into action like he did in Shahzaib's case.
when some hindu get accidently killed in Pak its headline on ET and when CJ took notice of long awaited matter, its not headline on ET. you have to find it under other headings. what a pain and HYPOCRITE JOURNALISM AT ITS BEST
Last time he was furious for arresting people. So what are the final orders please.
you should took action when last incident was happened but now its time to take some serious actions against these sort of band outfits.
Very tricky situation for the CJ, as he cannot possibly take action against political allies of PML-N. And remember that it was the Supreme Court that had set Malik Ishaq free.
First he fired TQ out of sc and now suo-moto against terorists.Is it the begining of the end of lashkars?
This is PPP's government's definite failure that when Supreme Court takes suo moto notice then PPP's leaders take action?Why any action can't be taken by PPP's government before and without Supreme Court's suo moto notice?????
suo motu notice after second bomb blast ?? is that just sufficient ??
Incidents do occur in every part of the world. However, the actual challenge is to catch the criminals and bring them to the system of justice and award punishment accordingly. so that nobody dares to repeat the same again.
Finally raises voice against the failure of security establishment. Everybody knows Balochistan is under de-facto army rule for the last 10 years
Chief Justice Please take strict and severe action against the cuplrits
