The attack on the Chinese consulate in Karachi, which killed four people early Friday, was orchestrated by outlawed Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) commander Aslam alias 'Achchu'.

The sources said Achchu, who orchestrated the attack on the Chinese consulate, is currently under treatment at Max Hospital in New Delhi.

Armed terrorists attacked the Chinese consulate in Karachi early Friday, killing two policemen and two civilians.

The attackers, who were armed with SMGs, hand grenades, suicide vests and explosives, tried to enter the consulate from the visa issuance section but they were intercepted by security personnel at the checkpoint.

Sindh Police and Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) confirmed that all three terrorists had been killed in the operation.

“They [terrorists] had hand grenades and SMGs. They wanted to make their way inside [the consulate]. One was neutralised outside, the other two were neutralised in the ensuing operation by police and Rangers which lasted for 30-35 minutes,” Inspector General Sindh Police Kaleem Imam told reporters.

Suicide jackets, hand grenades, Kalashnikov bullets, magazines and explosives were recovered from the terrorists, police said.

"Food supplies and medicines were also recovered from their possession," officials added.
