Blast kills four paramilitary soldiers

KARACHI: A bomb exploded near a paramilitary complex in Karachi on late Wednesday, killing four soldiers and wounding three others, officials said.

“It was a bomb blast, the target seems to be a van carrying soldiers,” police official Karim Khan told AFP.

The blast happened near the Rangers’ headquarters in the city’s eastern district of Korangi, he added.

Police cordoned off the area and ambulances rushed the casualties to the state-run Jinnah Hospital.

“The death toll is four now,” senior doctor Seemi Jamali said.

A spokesman for the Rangers confirmed the casualties. “Seven soldiers were wounded, four of them embraced martyrdom,” he said, adding that the soldiers were returning from duty when the bomb went off.




“It was an attack on the Rangers’ pickup truck,” senior police officer Tahir Naveed confirmed. According to initial reports an explosive device, possibly a hand grenade, was hurled into the moving vehicle causing the casualties, Naveed told AFP.

He said the bomb disposal squad was investigating if the blast was caused by an improvised explosive device.

The attack may be linked to operations being carried out by Rangers against militants and criminal gangs in the city, he added.
