On 26 April 2022, a suicide bombing hit a van near the University of Karachi's Confucius Institute, killing three Chinese academics and their Pakistani driver. The Balochistan Liberation Army,[3] claimed responsibility, saying that the perpetrator was the organization's first female suicide bomber.[4][5]
Of the three Chinese killed, one was the director of the university's Confucius Institute. The other two were teachers.[6] China losing confidence in Pakistan's ability to secure Chinese nationals, has since requested permission to deploy Chinese private security contractors to Pakistan.[7]
