Karachi police foiled an attempt to kill US diplomats in a suicide attack and arrested three terrorists on December 14. Addressing a press conference on December 15, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Syed Kamal Shah said police, on a tip-off, raided a godown in Kathiawar Society, Amir Khusro Road, and arrested the three. He said police also recovered 250 gunny bags of ammonium nitrate, grinder, silver powder, chemicals, detonators and a Volkswagen car laden with 10 kilograms of gunpowder. The explosive material was placed in the car, as the terrorists wanted to use it for a suicide attack to kill US diplomats. US diplomats were the main target, and the terrorists had planned to hit diplomats' vehicles with their car on main Shara-e-Faisal. The IGP added the arrested had no links to those held in connection with the Karachi-US Consulate blast case. "They choose to attack American diplomats as they thought that the group behind the US Consulate attack failed to achieve desired results", he said.
