WP:NOTNEWS. Yes it has coverage in the news. However short-term coverage does not prove or imply long-term notability.
WP:EVENT states that "An event that is a precedent or catalyst for something else of lasting significance is likely to be notable." This is unfortunately the umpteenth bombing in Pakistan in the last couple of years and this particular bombing has nothing that makes it more notable than the many others.
To further quote from
WP:EVENT "Notable events usually receive coverage beyond a relatively short news cycle." This particular bombing is very unlikely to receive any attention once something new comes along.
Simply put: While the attack should be noted on a list of events of the year or a list of all terrorist attacks of the year, it is simply not notable enough on its own.
