Anti-terrorism courts (ATCs) in Karachi issued non-bailable arrest warrants for several fugitive terrorists on Monday in connection with two separate terrorist attacks targeting Chinese nationals in the city.
During a hearing concerning a suicide attack on a Chinese convoy near Karachi Airport in October 2024, the court was informed by the investigating officer that the alleged masterminds, Bashir Baloch and Abdul Rehman, are believed to be hiding in Balochistan.
The officer reported that official letters had been dispatched to the Home Department.
After reviewing the report, the court issued non-bailable arrest warrants for the absconding suspects, including the masterminds, who belonged to the proscribed BLA, and ordered their production in court at the next hearing.
In a separate proceeding at the Karachi Central Jail's Anti-Terrorism Complex, the court heard the case of a deadly suicide attack on a van carrying Chinese teachers at the Karachi University in April 2022.
During the hearing, the court issued arrest warrants for four absconding accused.
