Three suspected suicide bombers who attacked the Chinese consulate in the Pakistani city of Karachi were killed before they were able to enter the facility, the city police chief says.
"There were three attackers and all three have been killed ... They could not even get in the compound. They tried to get into the visa section," the police chief, Amir Shaikh, told reporters after Friday's attack.
Two policemen were killed in the attack which was claimed by the separatist Balochistan Liberation Army insurgent group.
Chinese officials at the consulate were reported to be safe.
