He said Rs7.1 million was transferred to a bank account of a person named Saeed through a bank employee named Bilal to buy the vehicle in Karachi for the attack.
The car was brought from a showroom in Karachi and was possibly moved to Balochistan or any other area away from Karachi for explosives.
The same vehicle along with explosives (white chemical) weighing 30 to 40 kg was shifted back to Karachi for attack along with a woman named Gul-e-Nisa to avoid checking, the minister said.
The minister said Javed on a telephone call informed the attacker about departure of Chinese nationals from Karachi airport.
The suicide attacker was identified through his fingerprint as Fahad Shah aka Aftab.
Lanjar said four people have been arrested so far and hunt for their accomplice named Danish is underway.
He also announced a reward of Rs5 0mln for the team which busted the terrorist network to recommend it for Pakistan Police medal.
