The attack near Jinnah International Airport last month claimed the lives of two Chinese nationals and injured a number of others, according to the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan.

Ziaul Hasan Lanjar, speaking at a joint press conference with IGP Ghulam Nabi Memon, praised the Sindh police’s Counter-Terrorism Department’s (CTD) prompt response in identifying the perpetrators and enablers of the attack on Chinese people.

The banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the blast at the Karachi airport, according to Lanjar.

According to him, a bank employee named Bilal deposited Rs 7.1 million to a guy named Saeed’s bank account so that he could purchase the car needed for the attack in Karachi.

The vehicle may have been transported to Balochistan or any other location outside of Karachi for explosives after being taken from a Karachi showroom.

In order to evade detection, the minister said that the same car was moved back to Karachi for an attack together with explosives (white chemical) weighing 30 to 40 kg and a woman named Gu-e-Nisa.

The minister claimed that over the phone, Javed told the assailant that Chinese nationals were leaving Karachi airport.

Fahad Shah, also known as Aftab, was the suicide attacker who was recognized by his fingerprint.

According to Lanjar, four people have been taken into custody thus far, and a search is being conducted for their collaborator, Danish.

In addition, he recommended that the team that dismantled the terrorist network be awarded a Pakistan Police Medal and offered them a prize of Rs. 5 million.
