| Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Monday condemned a series of blasts in Karachi and ordered "high alert" security in all provinces. One person was killed and 50 others, including children, injured in a series of seven low-intensity blasts in two busy neighbouring towns of Karachi. Gilani, who is in Malaysia to attend the sixth D-8 summit, told his Adviser on Interior Affairs Rehman Malik that the government was committed to fighting anti-state elements. He also appealed to the people of Karachi to keep calm. The blasts in Karachi came a day after a suicide bomb killed 19 people near a protest in Islamabad marking the first anniversary of the government's raid on the Lal masjid. |
