KARACHI (Dunya News) - At least two persons were killed and six others injured in a blast near ANP office in Gulshan-e-Boneer area of Landhi.


According to police officials gun shots were also heard before the blast. DIG East Tahir Naved said the terrorists targeted an ANP office in the area.


According to ANP sources, unit president Behrooz and a party member were killed in the blast.

 

Police and rescue teams rushed to the blast site and emergency has been declared at Jinnah Hospital.


Earlier, on Saturday a government official survived a bomb attack on his vehicle on a busy road that left his police guard dead hardly an hour before another bomb went off in a house due to ‘mishandling’ by suspected terrorists in another area, killing two of them.


At least four persons, including a police guard of Karachi’s metropolitan commissioner, were killed and four others injured in two separate bomb blasts within an hour at different locations in the city on Saturday.


The first explosion took place on the ramp of the Lyari Expressway Essa Nagri interchange where the vehicle of Karachi’s Metropolitan Commissioner Matanat Ali Khan was attacked in a motorcycle bombing.

 

The police guard of the KMC Commissioner Matanat Ali Khan, who was identified as Sohail Siddiqui, died in the attack while three persons, including Matanat Ali Khan, his driver Haroon and a city warden Abid were injured but were recovering at Aga Khan Hospital.


The second explosion took place inside a three-storeyed building in the Patel Para area of the city in the limits of Soldier Bazaar police station where three persons were killed and one other injured when they apparently touched a power bomb packed with ball bearings.


There has been no letup in the terrorist attacks and violence in Karachi even in the month of Ramzan.
