In Pakistan, a police compound — a place built to embody the state's authority and protection — was struck by a coordinated attack that claimed at least 31 lives. The assault is not an isolated rupture but part of a long and painful pattern in which the institutions meant to shield society become the very targets of violence. It asks an enduring question that many nations have faced: how does a state protect those whose purpose is protection itself?
