According to police, 42 kg of explosives have been recovered from a backyard of the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center (JPMC) Hospital Emergency Center. The area is used to offer Friday prayers by the Shiite employees of Jinnah Hospital.
The Friday prayer was organized by the Safina-tul-Nijat trust for the Shia worshippers of the JPMC as majority of the doctors and paramedical Shiite Staff were offered Friday prayers in the Mosque.
Source informed that an organizer before the Friday prayer was going to look after the arrangements of Friday prayers at morning where he saw the newly constructed concrete block in the Mosque.
He informed the security officials about the mysterious concrete block and then they dug the mysterious block and found the planted remote control bomb inside the mosque to kill the Shia worshippers.
JPMC is Karachi's biggest government-run hospital in the city. Bomb Disposal Squad defused the device having ball-bearings, iron plates and detonators connected to it.
Acting CCPO, Karachi Iqbal Mehmood told the media that the bomb was remote-controlled. As strict security measures have been ordered for Friday prayers, that is why they were able to detect the presence of explosives, CCPO said.
"It was a terror plot," said a police official present on the spot. Police have started investigation.
