KARACHI: The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) on Saturday issued a security alert, warning that the terrorists may attack the government buildings in the metropolis.
In the alert, the KMC asked the concerned officials to ensure security of all the government buildings in the city and checking of visitors and vehicles at the entry points.
Meanwhile, the KMC imposed a ban on the entry of unrelated persons and vehicles at its premises.
A day earlier, Sindh Assembly Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani apprised the provincial lawmakers of the security threat being faced by the legislatures.
“The Sindh Assembly faces a threat of terror attack,” Siraj told the lawmakers. He said that some photos of the Sindh Assembly building were recovered from the possession of terrorists. “The law enforcement authorities have conveyed information regarding the terror threat,” the speaker added.
It is pertinent to mention that days before the speaker divulged details of a security threat to the legislatures, the National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) had issued a terror alert for Karachi, warning that some terrorists, backed by foreign agencies, can attack key installations in the city. “The preparation for an attack in Karachi has been completed,” the NACTA had said while apprising that provincial home ministry, Inspector General of Police (IG) and Rangers.
