| Investigators suspect that a single proclaimed offender-led organisation is involved in the recent three suicide bombings in Lahore, Daily Times has learned. Sources close to investigators said the group was headed by Zafar Ahmed, alias Qari Zafar, a resident of Sanghar (Sindh), whom a court had declared a proclaimed offender in the US consulate, Karachi, attack case. Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Director General Tariq Pervez said that Ahmed might also have been involved in Lahore blasts. He said that evidence available to investigators hinted at the involvement of a single group in all three of the recent Lahore bombings. However, he said: “We’re in no position to say anything with certainty until we get something substantial.” Sources said investigators suspected that a single group had bombed the Navy War College on March 4, and FIA provincial headquarters and a Model Town bungalow on March 11. They said two bombers had exploded bombs, made of potassium chlorate using electronic triggers. Sources said 40kg of explosive material was used at FIA offices and 30 kg at the Model Town bungalow. |
