Arrests Made in Karachi Airport Attack: Mastermind and Accomplices Captured

Police have arrested the alleged mastermind behind the Karachi airport suicide attack and four accomplices, including a female bomber. The attack, claimed by the Baloch Liberation Army, killed four and injured 17, targeting a convoy of Chinese workers. The BLA has been active in attacking foreign nationals in Karachi.

Authorities announced the arrest of the alleged mastermind behind the Karachi airport attack, along with four suspected accomplices, including a female bomber. This comes after the explosion on October 6 that resulted in four deaths and multiple injuries among Chinese nationals.

Umar Khatab from the Sindh Counter-Terrorism Department confirmed the arrests took place across various locations in Balochistan last week. The attack, attributed to the Baloch Liberation Army, has heightened concerns over separatist violence in the region.

Incidents involving the BLA have continued to target Chinese nationals, sparking tensions over the safeguarding of CPEC projects. The group claims they oppose exploitation by China and Islamabad, pursuing a separatist agenda for a distinct Baloch homeland.
