“The attackers reached Karachi via Hub on the morning of the attack,” Geo News reported while quoting sources.
“From Hub, the attackers took the Sher Shah Road for Mai Kolachi and reached the Chinese consulate through the Boat Basin route,” the sources said.
The sources further said that the terrorists conducted recce of the area few hours before attacking it and they used a rented car. “CCTV footage of their path is being obtained,” the sources continued.
Karachi police chief also said that more facilitators of the attack have been nabbed. Law enforcement agencies on Saturday arrested two suspected facilitators from Karachi and Shahdadpur — around 200 kilometres from the metropolis — in a joint operation by police and other law enforcement agencies.
