Police on Monday ruled out Al Qaeda's hand in weekend bomb blasts in Karachi which killed 10 people, mostly students of an Islamic seminary, AFP reported.
| "Nope. Nope. Wudn't them..." |
Police chief Tariq Jamil said the attack was probably sectarian. "Why would Al Qaeda kill religious elements? Even to create terror in the city, Al Qaeda will not target religious students," he said. "The main possibility on which we are working is sectarianism."
| Oh. Well. That's different, then... |
Staff Report adds: Deputy Inspector General of Investigations Akbar Arain said on Monday that no breakthrough had been made so far in Sunday's bomb blasts that took place outside Jamia Binori seminary. The DIG told Daily Times the investigating team was taking different angles into account.
"What angles?"
"Diff'rent angles!" |
Statements by several of the injured and residents had been recorded, but so far there had been no breakthrough, he added. Mr Arain said no suspect had been detained or arrested so far. Sources however said the police interrogated six people on suspicion of their involvement in the theft of the motorcycle in which the second bomb was planted. |
