Theory Revisited in Karachi Consulate Blast Case
Police in Karachi revisit whether a passing by own action bomber caused the U S Consulate explosion or a remote detonated device. Investigators now focus on a pickup driver connected to the 220 pound device weighing 44 pounds of material and fertilizer. FBI testing on charred gearbox remnants shifts blame toward a vehicle associated with the blast. Seven Arabs and seven Pakistanis were detained as part of the probe into the May 8 incident and related attacks.
