Terrorists from the Baloch Liberation Army, an organization fighting for the independence of Balochistan and banned in Pakistan, attacked a stock exchange in Karachi, Pakistan, killing 11 people, including five policemen from the Karachi police department. All four militants were also shot dead by police.

The stock exchange in Karachi, the capital of Sindh province, was attacked by four militants. The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a car packed with explosives and guns.

He then started firing indiscriminately from below. The firing started between the militants and Karachi police in the parking area. Meanwhile, two militants were shot dead in the parking lot. The two remaining militants then carried out a grenade attack near the main gate of the stock exchange.

For a while, indiscriminate firing continued on both sides. Meanwhile, a police officer and four security personnel were also killed. A total of 11 were killed. Pakistan Rangers then shot dead both the militants.

India, meanwhile, has sharply criticized Pakistan for linking the Karachi Stock Exchange attack to India. After the attack on the Karachi Stock Exchange, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Mehmood Qureshi alleged that the strings of the attack went to a sleeper cell activated by India.

In response to Pakistan's allegations, Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said India has no hesitation in condemning terrorist attacks in any corner of the world, including Karachi.

"We reject the Pakistani foreign minister's remarks on the Karachi attack," Srivastava added. Pakistan cannot blame India for its domestic problems.

Karachi police said the militants had a large contingent including AK-47s and explosives. The terrorists who came to carry out the suicide attack also kept water and food with them. He may have the guts to infiltrate the stock exchange and take over the stock exchange.
