Bomber’s sketch of Abbas Town blast being drawn: Govt bans parking close to Majlis venues

While police investigators with the help of some eyewitnesses were drawing a sketch of the man who had parked an explosive-laden motorbike close to Imambargah Mustafa in Abbas Town shortly before a Majlis began there on Sunday evening, the bomb blast incident claims the lifes of two people.
Sources told Dawn that some eyewitnesses informed the police that the man who parked the IED-rigged motorbike was aged between 30 and 32 years.
He was clad in black shalwar-kameez, they added. “A sketch of the man was being prepared by the police with the help of the eyewitnesses,” the sources said.
They said that the explosives weighed three to four kilograms and was laced with ball bearings and nut bolts. They said that the investigators were grilling two suspects, who were caught by the people outside the Patel Hospital in Gulshan-i-Iqbal, where the wounded of the blast were shifted for treatment.
The suspects were handed over to the police and now they were being questioned by the Special Investigation Unit, the sources added.
Meanwhile, the Sindh government on Monday night imposed a ban on parking and plying of vehicles close to Imambargahs and other venues of Majalis in the city.
