Exporters in Pakistan have again been hit by terrorism after several international airlines decided to suspend cargo shipments from Pakistan following the May 8 bombing in Karachi when 11 French citizens were killed.

Air France was the first to suspend its cargo flights to Pakistan along with Singapore Airlines. German carrier Lufthansa Cargo sent a circular to exporters, including leather garments manufacturers, saying that due to security reasons a 24-hour cooling period would be initiated for all shipments from Pakistan with immediate effect.
