Topic Description:

Pakistan security forces on Friday foiled an attempt on the Chinese Consulate in Karachi by three suicide bombers. The terrorists, members of the Baluchistan Liberation Army (BLA), hurled grenades at the embassy before engaging in an hour-long gunfight with the security personnel. Two policemen and all three terrorists were killed in the encounter. The staff in the consulate were unharmed in the attack. In a statement, BLA said it attacked the Chinese Embassy since Beijing was exploiting Pakistan’s resources. Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan condemned the attack and called it a “conspiracy” against cooperation between Pakistan and China.
