ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Three suicide attackers of a Pakistani insurgent group stormed the Chinese consulate in the southern city of Karachi on Friday, a spokesman for the group told Reuters, claiming responsibility for the assault.

“There were three suicide attackers,” Jiand Baloch of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), which also describes itself as the Baloch Liberation Army, told Reuters by telephone.

“They stormed the Chinese embassy in Karachi. China is exploiting our resources.”

At least two policemen were killed in the attack and a security guard was wounded. It is unclear if any Chinese officials were harmed.
