Six unidentified persons, who were killed in a bomb blast in the Baldia Town of Karachi in the morning of January 8, were identified as five militants and one civilian, according to Dawn. An initial investigation stated that six militants had come to the house at about 3 am (PST) on three motorcycles. They were guests of Ayaz, younger brother of Riaz who was living in the house with his mother, wife and three children. All the militants were in their late teens or early twenties. Five of the dead militants were identified as Riazul Hasan, Mohammad Husain, Shahbaz Lahori, Asif and Zahid. Ayaz was also killed in the blast, while his brother Ibrar was injured. A portion of a house was destroyed in what was described as an accidental blast. "We heard a loud bang at about 7:45am and saw two bodies lying in the debris. A Kalashnikov rifle was beside the bodies," a eyewitness said. Police found a cache of arms and ammunition and suicide vests strapped to the two bodies in the house. The suicide vests were fitted with grenades, they added. The suicide vest of the third militant accidentally triggered the explosion, causing a grenade to explode, investigators said. Police recovered several cartons of tinned food, jihadi literature, books and CDs, stickers of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) pasted inside a trunk containing certifications of graduation from a seminary, cell phones and several SIMs from the debris of the house.
