On Friday twin blasts rocked Karachi killing at least 33 people and injuring more than 167, some of whom remain in critical conditions.
The first blast occurred when an explosives-laden motorcycle rammed into a bus on Karachi’s Shahrah-i-Faisal Nursery Bridge, near Shahrah-e-Quaideen, a key thoroughfare in the city, while the second explosion took place inside the Jinnah Hospital.
The first explosion occurred at 3.05 PM.
TV news channels quoted witnesses as saying that a motorcycle-borne suicide bomber rammed the bus.
However, Karachi police chief Waseem Ahmed said initial investigations had indicated that an explosive device planted in the motorcycle was triggered by remote control as the bus was passing by. The exact cause remains unknown.
Meanwhile, police have registered FIRs of the twin blasts under anti terrorism act and arrested 20 suspects, it has emerged.
