Little known militant group claims
responsibility for Karachi blast

Al-Qanoon, a militant group about which little is known, has claimed responsibility for Friday's bomb attack on the US consulate in Karachi.

The organisation hand-delivered photocopies of its statement claiming responsibility for the attack to newspaper offices.

The police in Karachi, however, said they had not received any such statement.

The statement said: "America and its allies and its slave Pakistani rulers should prepare for more attacks. This bomb attack is just a beginning of Al-Qanoon's jihadi operation in Pakistan."

Eleven people were killed in the bomb attack.
