KARACHI:

A suspected bomber died when a remote controlled explosive device went off when ‘he was planting it’ near Jamshoro deputy commissioner office on Thursday.

Police identified the slain person as 22 years old Allah Bux Khokhar, son of Jamshoro police ASI Moula Bux Khokhar. The blood stained body of Khohkar was found hanging upside down from a tree at the blast site.
