Three Chinese engineers working on a sea-port project were killed and eleven persons, including nine Chinese nationals, sustained injuries in a car bomb attack near Gwadar, about 500 kilometers west of Karachi, near the border with Iran on May 3. The attack reportedly occurred early in the morning as a bus carrying at least 12 Chinese workers was proceeding to the Gwadar port. According to Sattar Lasi, the chief of police in Gwadar, "A car was parked near the port and it exploded as the bus reached the port.'' He also said it was not clear if it was a suicide attack or if the car was exploded by a remote control device. Police suspect that it could either be the work of Islamist terrorists or hard-line Baluchi nationalists, who are against the Gwadar project. The engineers were working on a sea-port project in Gwadar which is partly aided by China. This is the first major attack on foreign workers since a suicide bomber killed 11 French engineers outside the Sheraton Hotel in Karachi on May 8, 2002.

At least 14 Shia worshippers and a suspected suicide bomber were killed and over 200 persons sustained injuries when a powerful bomb exploded at Hyderi Mosque, situated within the premises of the seminary Sindh Madrasa-tul-Islam, in the Mithadar area of Karachi on May 7. The explosion which occurred during the Friday prayers is reported to have subsequently triggered unrest in the city, as hundreds of youths set ablaze cars, a petrol pump and a Government office. A senior police official Manzoor Mughal was quoted in The News as saying that "As no crater was found in the mosque, it means it was a suicide blast." However, no group or individual has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The Karachi Police arrested a front ranking terrorist of the outlawed Harkat-ul-Mujahideen Al-alami (HuMA) after a shootout in the Buffer Zone area on May 19. A woman who was caught in the gunfire is reported to have died.

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".

The Karachi Police is reported to have arrested six terrorists of the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen Al-alami (HuMA) outfit after a gun battle in the Kalakot area on May 24. According to the chief of Karachi Police investigation department, Fayyaz Leghari, "We have been able to break the group’s network. There may be a few more but they are on the run." Their hideout was the group’s operational headquarters and was used for "operational briefings", added Leghari. According to Daily Times, the raid was launched on a tip-off from another HuMA terrorist, Kamran Atif, who was arrested last week. Atif is alleged to have pressed the detonator that failed to blow up a remote-controlled car bomb parked on a highway where President Musharraf’s motorcade was passing in April 2002.

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.

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. The assassination, suspected to be a sectarian attack, led to violence across Karachi and according to The News, dozens of people, including police and paramilitary personnel, were injured. Police sources were quoted as saying that one of the assassins was injured in retaliatory fire by Shamzai’s police guard, but his accomplices took him away. The murder reportedly triggered violence in several localities of Karachi, including Jamshed Quarters, Soldier Bazaar, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Sohrab Goth, Quaidabad and North Karachi. Provincial security adviser Aftab Sheikh was quoted in Daily Times as having said that "It was a targeted killing and according to our information about 10 to 12 people were involved." Mufti Nizamuddin, according to The Nation, is the third head of the Binoria mosque to have been assassinated. Earlier, Mufti Habibullah was shot dead in 1998 and Allama Yusuf Ludhianvi in year 2000.

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.

At least 18 worshippers were killed and 40 others sustained injuries when a high-intensity bomb exploded during the evening prayers at a Shia mosque situated on the MA Jinnah Road in Karachi on May 31. The blast led to violence in several localities of Karachi and mobs set ablaze a petrol station, several vehicles, including a police mobile van, a bank and some commercial establishments. An eye-witness was quoted as saying in The News that two persons riding a motorcycle threw an explosive device inside the mosque and fled towards the Lines Area. Among those dead was Maulana Mustaque Ahmed Mazhar, the prayer leader at the mosque. Deputy Inspector General of Police (Investigation), Fayyaz Ahmed Khan Leghari, said "It could be a suicide bombing. We are investigating the blast from different angles and the facts would transpire once thorough investigation is completed."
