'Attackers identified'

Islamabad, June 23. Investigators probing the recent car bomb blast near the U.S. consulate in Karachi have identified the group involved in the attack and will name it soon, the Pakistan Interior Minister, Moinuddin Haider, told reporters in Karachi today.

"The name would be announced in two or three days.''

On whether the group had any links with the Al-Qaeda, the Minister said ''I don't want to name the gang at this stage. There are some links between the consulate blast and the May 8 blast outside Karachi's Sheraton Hotel."
