According to Express Tribune, at least two people, a woman and child, were killed and 40 others were injured in Karachi when hand-grenade explosions took place at the Karimabad Jamaat Khana and the Metroville Jamaat Khana in SITE, on Tuesday. At Karimabad, the hand grenade was hurled from outside the main entrance at 7:15 pm – 15 minutes before the evening prayer. The site of the blast was the front lawn, an area designated for women and children. The explosion caused some infrastructure damage, including shattered glass windows. Meanwhile, Karachi City Police Chief Ghulam Qadir Thebo said that none of those injured in the blasts were in a critical condition and therefore, the death toll was not expected to rise. Thebo added that the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi nexus was suspected to be responsible for the attacks, because similar threats had been issued by outlawed militant organisations last year.
