Five bomb scares in a day in Karachi
2007-07-22
In a single day, there were five different rumors of bombs in various parts of the city. According to the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS), the brigade police phoned the BDS at around 11 am and warned them of a bomb in an under-construction building near the Myro department store in Lines Area. On hearing this news, the people in the area began to panic, and ambulances and bomb squads rushed to the scene. After searching for nearly two hours, the area was declared safe and clear. A police mobile in the area, on seeing a cluster of people, arrived at the spot, where they were then informed of the bomb rumor.

The Saddar police also received information by an anonymous phone caller at around 11:30 a.m. of a bomb in the Navy flats near Lucky Star. Police, ambulances, and bomb squads rushed to the scene, and searched the building for nearly three hours before declaring it safe. In another rumor, an unknown civilian called the Kharadar police at 6:00 p.m., and told them about a bomb near Subzari Mazaar, in the vicinity of Kutiyana Memon Hospital. Once again, police, ambulances, and bomb squads quickly arrived and searched the area for an hour before it was declared safe.
