The Federal Bureau of Investigation joined the Pakistani police on Saturday hunting for possible Al Qaeda links to a car bomb attack outside the US consulate in Karachi that killed 11 people on Friday.
Witnesses said FBI officials visited the site on Saturday.
"They also took photographs and made a video of surrounding areas and the spot of the bomb attack," one witness said.
A suicide bomber rammed a white Suzuki van, packed with explosives, into a concrete barrier in front of the US consulate on Friday, setting off the blast.
The attack, the fourth against foreigners in Pakistan since January, prompted the United States to temporarily close its missions in Pakistan. Staff at most diplomatic missions had already been scaled back due to military tensions with India.
President George W Bush said "radical killers" were behind the bombing and vowed that they would not intimidate the US.
The Al-Qanoon, a previously unknown group, claimed responsibility for the attack. It said the bomb was the start of a "jihad" against America and Pakistan's rulers.
The police said the suicide bombing appeared similar to the May 8 attack on a hotel in Karachi that killed 11 French engineers and two Pakistanis.
