KARACHI: A suspected suicide blast killed three people at a secluded spot near the Salt and Pepper Village restaurant at Sea View boardwalk in Karachi.
As per SP Tariq Dharejo, three men riding in a white Suzuki Bolan were intercepted by a police party near an under-construction park for checking when the men inside blew themselves up. Two policemen were injured in the blast.
Express 24/7 correspondent Sabin Agha reported that following the powerful blast large contingents of police and Rangers rushed to the spot where they discovered the remains of the bombers and the vehicle strewn around.
