Law enforcement agencies have reportedly reinforced security measures after securing intelligence reports of another possible sectarian attack in Karachi, Lahore or Rawalpindi on May 21, today, according to The News. "We have intensified security measures at all places of worship and important installations situated in all the big cities of the country to counter threats of a possible May 7-like attack," said an unnamed senior official of the Interior Ministry, referring to the bomb blast in Hyderi Mosque, in which at least 23 persons died. He said that intelligence reports suggested terrorists might strike on Friday (May 21) anywhere in the three big cities i.e. Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi. Referring to two recent attacks in Karachi and Lahore on two consecutive Fridays, he added, "Intelligence officials suspect terrorists could launch a suicide attack on any of the mosques or resort to target killing on this Friday (today), as it seems that they want to attack on every Friday".

Two persons were killed and at least 33 others, mostly police and media personnel, were wounded when two car bombs exploded in succession near the Pakistan-American Cultural Centre (PACC) and the residence of the US Consul-General in Karachi on May 26. According to Dawn, both the cars were parked along the Fatima Jinnah Road and the bombs exploded at an interval of about 30 minutes. The first explosion of mild intensity occurred at about 5:05pm in a car which had been parked in front of the PACC near the Consul-General's residence. Even as police and media personnel reached the spot, another car bomb exploded a few feet away at around 5:32pm. Deputy Inspector General (Operations) Tariq Jamil later said "The PACC is affiliated to the US consulate and it was definitely the target." However, an unnamed US State Department official told AFP in Washington that the target was a privately run English language school and not the nearby residence of the US Consul General. The official, citing information received in Washington from US and Pakistani authorities in Karachi and Islamabad, said the car bombs were aimed at the PACC which is not affiliated with the United States Government. "We have no connection with this facility… There are no Americans on its staff and there were no Americans injured," added the official. These explosions came less than 24 hours after a bomb exploded at the Karachi port on May 25, which killed two people and injured three others. On May 7, a suicide bomber blew himself up inside the Hyderi Mosque killing 14 people. The death toll has since risen to 22. The latest blasts occurred around 500 meters from the US Consulate building. On June 14, 2002, a suicide bomber had killed 12 people and injured 51 others outside the same building. In February 2003, a gunman attacked policemen guarding the same building, killing two of them and injuring six others.

Allama Hassan Turabi, a Shia religious scholar, said that "This (the blast) is part of the conspiracy to drive wedge between Shia and Sunni Muslims." He also said that when a bomb exploded in the Hyderi Mosque (May 7. Twenty-three persons died in this suicide-bomb attack) he had warned that the next target would be a Sunni cleric or a mosque. "And yesterday Mufti Shamzai was assassinated," added Turabi. As reported earlier, the pro-Taliban Sunni cleric and chief of the Binoria mosque in Karachi, Mufti Nizamuddin Shamzai, was killed and his son, nephew and driver were wounded, when armed men ambushed their vehicle in front of the mosque on May 30.

According to Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat, security forces have arrested a nephew of a top Al Qaeda operative and several other foreigners blamed for a series of attacks including the June 10-assassination attempt on the Karachi Corps Commander. They were arrested over the weekend during separate raids in Karachi, said Faisal, adding "They have confessed to a key role in the attack. They have a direct link to al-Qaeda." The Al Qaeda operative, identified as Musabir Urumchi, is reported to be the nephew of Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and had a $1 million reward on his head, said the Minister. Hayat did not disclose the circumstances under which Musabir was arrested nor did he specify the location. He stated that eight of the arrested called themselves the Jandalla group. "Our investigations have established that this eight-member gang was involved in most acts of terrorism in Karachi and Quetta," he said.

The Karachi Police were placed on a high security alert on July 4 in pursuit of two suicide-bomber sisters who are planning to launch strikes on Government targets, reported The Nation. Police launched a hunt in the city for the two sisters, aged between 18 and 20 years, following the disclosure by an arrested sectarian terrorist that they have been trained for suicide missions, police chief Tariq Jamil told AFP. "There is high alert in the city due to July 4 (US Independence Day), and though there is no specific threat we have been alerted by a militant, Gul Hasan, during interrogation that two of his cousins trained as suicide bombers will strike any day," said Jamil. Hasan, affiliated to the proscribed Sunni group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), was arrested in connection with the two suicide bomb attacks on a Shia mosque in May 2004 in which at least 50 people died. Hasan is alleged to have told investigators that he had motivated his two female cousins to become suicide bombers. "My senior members will give them the target, which could either be a Shia gathering of women, any police station or any official ceremony," Hasan was quoted as telling his interrogators.
