The anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Saturday directed the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) to compile and submit the investigation report on February 8 with regard to the attack on the Chinese Consulate in Karachi. Amid the hearing, CTD officers, investigating into the case and having failed to find any evidence and arresting those responsible for the attack on the Chinese Consulate, pleaded with the court to close the case, whereas the jury expressed concerns over "reasons for keeping the case in the A-Class category."
The A-class category is applicable to those cases where suspects are apparently unknown or untraceable. 'Why there had been no efforts to catch the attackers,' the court asked, while ordering the officers strictly to investigate the matter thoroughly and arrest the suspects.
The current report presented before the court mentioned 'information' regarding the killing of Aslam Achoo, however, further states of having no confirmation or evidence. Aslam Achoo 'was' a senior commander of the banned outfit Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).
