ISLAMABAD:
A vehicle packed with 50 kilogrammes of high-intensity explosives was found about a kilometre away from General (retd) Pervez Musharraf’s Chak Shahzad farmhouse in Islamabad on Tuesday.
The explosives were strapped under the seats of a Suzuki Mehran as well as in the vehicle’s rear.
Shehzad Town police said the explosives were attached to detonators and it required the circuit to be completed to detonate the bombs.
“No particular group has so far claimed responsibility,” said a police officer.
After initial investigations, police tracked the vehicle to a woman who denied owning it. Police said it bore a fake registration plate and added it was suspected to be stolen.
