Pakistani Cops Defuse Bomb in Restaurant
Experts defused a homemade bomb 20 minutes before it was timed to explode early Sunday inside a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in southern Pakistan. The bomb was hidden behind a toilet at the restaurant in the city of Hyderabad. Police chief A.D. Khawaja did not specify the type of explosive and the motive for the attack attempt was not immediately clear.Ummm... Prob'ly they wanted to kill people. The bomb was set to go off just before 1 a.m., shortly before the restaurant's closing. There were only a few customers in the single-story building when a cleaner heard a ticking sound and found the explosive. Hyderabad is not a major tourist destination and local restaurants, including U.S. fast-food chains, cater mainly to Pakistanis — not foreigners. It's the name, not the clientele.
