The Bomb Disposal Squad successfully defused a home-made bomb in Khawaja Ajmair Nagri on Monday.
The bomb, which could be operated through a remote control, had been planted near a police post in Rasheedabad, North Karachi. The experts from the squad explained that the bomb had been concealed in a pressure cooker.
An improvised explosive device, seven kilogrammes of explosives, two detonators and two batteries had been used. The extension wire attached to the bomb would have aided in its explosion, said an official. The squad was, however, able to defuse it within 20 minutes.
