According to official sources, three other groups of terrorists who have been operating in the city for the last many years are still at large. The leaders of these three groups are known as Asif Ramzi, Qari Asad and Qari Abdul Haye. These sources also said the most dangerous group among these three was headed by Asif Ramzi who is reportedly the ringleader of all LeJ cadres and had a key connection between local Islamist terrorists, Taliban and Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda network. Sources added that there was a very strong possibility that, consequent to the arrest of Akram Lahori group and Attaur Rehman alias Naim Bukhari, Asif Ramzi may emerge as the new leader (Salar) of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi. Sources also said, US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officials suspect that Asif Ramzi made the bombs used it in May 8-blast outside the Sheraton Hotel.

Rangers Director-General (DG) in Sindh Maj. Gen Salahuddin said Imran and Hanif had parked the vehicle near the Falak Naz Centre on Sharea Faisal on April 26 when the President was scheduled to go to the Army House from the airport. However, the remote control to set-off the device failed. The DG also said Inspector Wasim of the Rangers had abetted the accused in their attempt and added that he had also been arrested. The DG said the terrorist’s links with the Al Qaeda had not been established, but added that they did have links with some Arab nationals individually. The arrested are also reported to have been involved in several bomb explosions and terrorist activities. A large number of arms and ammunition have also been recovered from their hideout. According to Salahuddin, the HuMA is an offshoot of the proscribed Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) and was formed after parting ways with the latter on a dispute over organisational affairs. He also pointed that the accused decided upon their targets after consultations at the meetings of an ‘advisory committee’ headed by Imran. On their motives, he said, "They wanted to damage the United States, its interests and all those who are friendly to the US."
