BLA men confess to bombing KFC, PPL |
2005-12-06 |
![]() On Monday, the suspects, identified as Aziz Khan and Mangla Khan, told a judge that they parked the explosives-laden car near the building, police prosecutor Ismail Qureshi said. The suspects are alleged to be members of the Balochistan Liberation Army, an ethnic Baloch group in the Balochistan province. The group claimed responsibility for the Karachi bombing, saying it wanted to target the Pakistan Petroleum Limited. The company operates oil and gas fields in Balochistan, and BLA has claimed to have targeted its facilities in the mineral-rich province in the past as part of a strategy to get more revenues for resources extracted in the impoverished province. Qureshi said the two suspects still faced a trial but it was not known when it will begin. |
