Blast rocks Jaish-e-Mohammad
office in Karachi

One person was injured after a bomb explosion rocked the office of Pakistan-based Islamic militant organisation, Jaish-e-Mohammad, in the southern port city of Karachi on Wednesday.

The bomb was concealed in a religious book, left by two unidentified persons, Nisar Ahmad, in-charge of the office of the militant organisation, said.

This is the second bomb blast to have hit the Jaish office in the recent past.

Last week, two Jaish-e-Mohammad activists were killed by unidentified gunmen in this southern city.

Jaish-e-Mohammad is headed by Maulana Masood Azhar, a militant released from an Indian jail in 1999 in exchange for the hostages after the hijacking of an Indian Airlines plane from Kathmandu.
