KARACHI: A number of small intensity bombs exploded at multiple locations in Sindh on Tuesday evening within a span of three hours, Express News reported.
In the first attack, a cracker exploded in the up-market neighbourhood of Zamzam of Karachi. The attack caused panic to spread in the area and forced shops to close. Though fortunately no one was hurt in the incident.
The attack happened soon after the first female Station House Officer (SHO) Ghazala Javed took charge of her office.
DIG Abdul Khaliq Shaikh confirmed that the blast that caused waves in the area was most probably from a detonated grenade.
Later, talking to the media she said the attack had nothing to with her appointment as the SHO, and that it was not a ‘welcome’.
