In a shocking development, the vehicle implicated in the deadly explosion that claimed the lives of Chinese nationals in Karachi was reportedly bought from a local citizen, according to sources cited by ARY News.
Ownership was traced back to Shah Fahad, as per the investigative team. The vehicle, carrying an estimated 80kgs of explosives, was deliberately crashed into the car of the foreign nationals, leaving behind a trail of devastation impacting numerous vehicles in the vicinity.
Authorities described the blast as intensely powerful, even compromising the integrity of bomb-proof vehicles. In response, Sindh police and other law enforcement agencies meticulously re-examined the blast site, sealing off the area for continued investigation. Concurrently, CCTV footage was promptly secured to aid the inquiry. The Chinese Embassy in Pakistan strongly condemned the heinous act, which resulted in the tragic loss of at least three lives, including Chinese citizens, while injuring seventeen others in the vicinity of Jinnah International Airport.
