Karachi blast: The search begins

SSP Fayyaz Khan releases two sketches of suspected militants involved in the attack on the CID centre.

KARACHI:
Investigators probing the attack on the Crime Investigation Department (CID) centre in Karachi on Thursday have said that recently-nabbed Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) militants had been threatening the Sindh police’s main investigating agency with dire consequences.

‘You either kill us or let us go’ was their demand.

While Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik appeared sure about the involvement of the LeJ, a senior police officer disagreed with the conclusion and said he was betting his ‘smart money’ on the TTP for being solely responsible for the deadly attack.


Investigators are now facing a daunting challenge in un raveling the sequence of events because the crime scene has been trampled over and key CCTV footage of the attack remains missing.

Meanwhile, SSP Fayyaz Khan released two sketches of suspected militants involved in the attack on the CID centre.
