KARACHI (Dunya News) -- An investigation team to probe Karachi Airport Attack was formed under DIG East Muneer Sheikh.
The other member of the team include SSP East, SSP Investigation Malir, SSP SIU, DSP and SHO Airport.
According Additional IG Ghulam Qadir, the team would present report on daily basis.
Banned Tehreek-e-Taliban on Monday threatened more attacks after claiming responsibility for a brazen five-hour assault on the country's busiest airport in which gunmen disguised as police guards stormed the international airport in Karachi, set off explosions. 20 people had lost their lives in the incident.
The Taliban said the assault on the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, Pakistan's largest city and the country's economic heart, was in revenge for the killing last November of the militant group's leader Hakimullah Mehsud in a U.S. drone strike.
On Wednesday, police registered a criminal case against outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leaders under the Anti-Terrorism Act for carrying out deadly assault.
The FIR was registered in Karachi's airport police station under the Anti-Terrorism Act, nominating the top brass of the militant outfit including its chief Mullah Fazlullah, spokesman Shahidullah Shahid and other militants.
The case was registered on the complaint of Assistant Director of Airport Security Force (ASF).
A security official said police has launched probe to identify the attackers and their handlers in the city.
The focus of the probe is a vehicle which reportedly dropped the militants near the gate of the old terminal of the Jinnah International airport.
