Good job.

Just to warn everyone reading this, this is a new tactic which has started to be used over 'suicide-bombings'. Pressure cookers. Theoretically I know how it works. See any suspicious parcel or pressure cooker? Call the BDS, but, MAINTAIN DISTANCE from the object and preferably from the area, a street or two away since these new systems have also been using mobile-network frequency wireless detonators.

And someone is likely to keep an eye on the object, remember this too.

Are you serious??? Improvised explosive devices were not used in Karachi for a long period. What was indeed used was suicide bombs and remotely/mobile phone triggered bombs. This is a new trend. Those IED's are a serious threat. We already have the MQM now we are going to have these going off. IED's are one of the best means of targeting military convoys for militants in KP and FATA. They come to Karachi and its double-trouble with the ethnic tensions. We have to do everything to keep them away.
