KARACHI: The counter-terrorism department (CTD) registered a first information report (FIR) against unidentified terrorists on Tuesday, a day after a remote-controlled bomb went off near a vehicle carrying Rangers personnel in Karachi. One soldier lost his life in the roadside blast while 11 others, mostly pedestrians, received wounds, authorities said. According to the FIR, when the Rangers vehicle reached Orangi Town-5 check post, a bomb, planted in a parked motorcycle, exploded. “The suspects after parking the motorcycle went away to stand at a distant place,” it further said. Militants from the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the blast in a statement.
