Key suspect in KU attack detained as Sindh info minster points finger at foreign hand

KARACHI – Law enforcement agencies detained a militant who provided technical support for a deadly suicide bomb attack on Chinese teachers at Karachi University.

Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon addressing a presser in the port city said two terror outfits, Balochistan Liberation Army and the Balochistan Liberation Front, and a neighbouring country were behind the attack that killed four people including three Chinese tutors.

Memon said Counter-Terrorism Department and intelligence team have nabbed the main culprit. He pointed finger at foreign hand, saying the deadly attack was executed with the help of a neighbouring country, which has been supporting the terrorist groups in several ways.

The PPP leader mentioned that the suspect who was in charge of the sleeper cell has revealed crucial information about the incident.

He even mentioned that the suspect held a meeting with suicide bomber Shari Baloch and her husband and another terrorist of the outlawed organisation.

The officials revealed that the mastermind of the attack, Zeb who is an expert at making explosive devices, entered Pakistan via a neighbouring country and was living with Shari Balcoh and her husband.
