Pakistan: 2 suicide bombers blow themselves up
KARACHI, Pakistan -- Police say two suicide bombers blew themselves up in a key southern Pakistani city during an intense shootout with officers.
Provincial police chief Babar Khattak says the clash began Friday morning in Karachi's Baldia Town neighborhood when police tried to raid a suspected militant hideout.
He says the raid was launched after officers arrested a militant leader from the outlawed Lashkar-e-Jhangvi extremist group. The man said three suicide bombers were at the home.
Officers suspect the third man was buried in the debris. Pakistan is experiencing escalating violence amid military offensives in its northwest.
Karachi, Pakistan's commercial capital, is considered a militant hub.
