KARACHI, April 15: The US consulate in Karachi reopened on Friday after being closed for three days because of a security threat, an official said. The building, targeted by a suicide bomb blast in 2002 that killed 12 people, had been closed since Tuesday after receiving a telephone call warning that militants were planning to attack the building again.
“The consulate is open today with all the staff at work,” said Greggory Crouch, press attache at the US embassy in Islamabad. However, he added, security had been stepped up around the building. —AFP
