15 injured in Karachi blast
Fifteen people were injured in an explosion said to be a bomb while they were waiting near the Karachi international airport Thursday. The injured were still being rushed to Jinnah hospital when this report was filed.A group of men were drinking tea at a New Quetta Rangeen Hotel in Falaknaz Plaza near the Malir Wireless Gate (Shah Faisal Town limits) at 11:00 pm. There were conflicting reports of the incident. People sitting near them told Daily Times from the hospital that a bomb under their bench went off. However, there were separate reports from people who were standing at a distance that a bomb the size of a football was thrown at them from a passing car. An injured Waqas told Daily Times from Jinnah hospital that his family had been targeted. The police picked up my younger brother Naeem two days ago, he claimed. Two ASIs told us to give them money, otherwise we would face consequences. I was sitting with my friends at the hotel when a car came from the railway tracks side and something was ejected from it. I blacked out, he said. Posted by: Fred 2007-09-07 |
