Three bombs defused at Karachi police station after 17 years

Three bombs have been defused at the Garden police station in Karachi Tuesday night when they were found after someone called the police helpline and threatened to blow up the station, Samma reported.

According to the details, the bombs were not planted by the caller, they were seized by the police in 2002 but they never actually defused the bombs before.

Someone called the “Madadgar 15 Helpline” and threatened the police to blow up the station. The Garden police station and the Nabi Baksh police station attached to it were searched and the bomb-sniffing dogs led investigators to a storage unit where they found the three armed IEDs [improvised explosive device].

Security has been increased at both stations and the police are also searching for the unknown caller. The Bomb Disposal Squad defused the bombs, which reportedly could have exploded at any time.
