Pakistan_CID_building_attack
The CID building attack was a gun, grenade and truck bomb attack in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan on 11 November 2010.[1][2] Initial reports indicated the building housing Pakistan's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) had been badly damaged and a blast crater of 5 metres was discovered in close proximity.[1][2] At least 18 people were killed and 100 injured, though casualty figures were expected to rise.[1][3] The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility for the attack through Azam Tariq, their spokesman.[3] However, the involvement of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi was also contested with interior minister Rehman Malik appearing sure of the possibility.[4]
