| Police found a letter from the purported chief of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi claiming responsibility for this week's bombing at a Shia mosque and a shootout in Karachi that left five people dead, and warned of more attacks, officials said. The message was seized from the pocket of one of the attackers who was shot dead in an exchange of fire with police guards outside the mosque on Monday, said Manzoor Mughal, chief of Karachi police investigation department. Asif Chotto, reputed to be the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi head, made the claim, the police chief said. "Yes, we have found a letter and this is Asif Chotto's style to leave a signature" for an attack, he said. The three attackers were suspected to members of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, which was banned in 2001 for its alleged involvement in the killing of Shias. Only one of the three survived. |
