KARACHI:
The CCTV video footage of two Karachi blasts that hit the city on election day was released on Thursday.
The two explosions ripped Karachi on May 11 – the day Pakistan went out to vote in the historic polls.
The blasts took place in the Quaidabad and Qasba areas of the city and claimed 13 lives and injured several others.
The blast at Quaidabad – which reportedly targeted an Awami National Party (ANP) candidate – was more intense than the other.
The ANP candidate managed to escape the attack unhurt.
The Taliban had directly threatened the three main parties in the past government, the PPP, the ANP and the MQM.
