The authorities have made a breakthrough in the Karachi University (KU) attack case today, after they got a permit to raid the house of the father of Shari Baloch, the suicide bomber.
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) had claimed responsibility for the attack outside the Confucius Institute at KU, that left four dead, including three Chinese nationals and one Pakistani. The attack was carried out by BLA's first female suicide bomber, Shari Baloch, who was a mother of two children, and held two Master's degrees.
The police, assisted by the Rangers, raided the property and took laptops and important documents into their custody.
Reports indicated that a car bearing a government license plate was observed going to and from the house. Although Shari Baloch's father was a government official, it is unknown whether the car belongs to him.
The security agencies also raided Baloch's private residence in Gulshan-e-Johar block 13, and found that while it was a rented property, she had been living there for the past three years. The property has now been sealed by the agencies.
Meanwhile, after remaining closed for a day, KU has reopened today, and a spokesperson for the institute said that all education and administrative activities in the university will resume as usual.
The Confucius Institute however, remains sealed, until the agencies receive the required clearance from the Chinese embassy.
Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah refrained from commenting on whether the husband of the suicide bomber, who himself is a dentist, had been arrested.
He said he could neither confirm nor deny whether her husband, Habitan Bashir Baloch, who had been staying at a hotel near Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre had been arrested. Habitan had apparently fled the hotel long before the attack took place.
