The committee, comprising an additional inspector general investigation and special secretary of interior, will examine various aspects of the attack.
The investigation report will be submitted to the provincial government.
On Sunday, a police van escorting the diplomats was targeted by an improvised explosive device (IED) near Malam Jabba, resulting in the death of one policeman and injuries to four others. The foreign ministry in Islamabad confirmed the diplomats’ safe return to the capital.
