Karachi: A key suspect in the attack on Chinese Consulate in Karachi has been arrested from a Gulf state and shifted to Pakistan.
Brohi is accused of providing facilities to the attackers. He was also monitoring the terrorist attack on the Chinese consulate last year.
The sources said the suspect, associated with the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), had received Rs.900, 000 from the terrorist outfit before the attack.
“The Department of State has designated the BLA and Hizballah operative Husain Ali Hazzima as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) under Executive Order (EO) 13224,” read the official release issued by The Department of State.
In November 2018, security forces had foiled an attack on the Chinese Consulate in the Clifton Block-4 area.
Two policemen, Assistant Sub Inspector Ashraf Dawood and Constable Amir, were martyred and a security guard was injured as three gunmen tried to enter the consulate.
Sindh Police and Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) had said that all three terrorists had been killed in the operation.
