| [Pak Daily Times] At least fourteen people, including law enforcers and media persons, were maimed in three kabooms in different parts of the metropolis on Wednesday. The first blast took place outside Dar-e-Abul Fazal Abbas Imambargah ...since the country's religiously correct™, Shia Moslems in Pakistain can't call their houses of worship 'mosques,' which are reserved for Sunnis. It's not clear if imambargahs are used for explosives storage like mosques are... in Pahar Ganj and maimed two people, including the son of the imambargah's caretaker. According to police the bomb was planted on the vehicle owned by the caretaker, Khalid Hussain. According to Hussain, the kaboom took place one hour into the majlis that was being held at the imambargah. Extra contingent of law enforcers, including police and Rangers, reached the site and cordoned off the area to prevent any untoward incident. The second kaboom took place when the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) experts and law enforcers were busy colleting evidence. It injured at least ten people, including law enforcers and media news hounds. After initial investigation the BDS experts said that both the blasts were caused by improvised bomb (IED). They said the bombs were detonated remotely. The weight of the bombs was around half kilogramme each and they were packed with ball bearings. According to Shara-e-Noor Jahan DSP Iftikhar Hussain bad boy or sectarian elements are likely to be behind the attack. He said the kabooms aimed to harass the public. The third kaboom took place in North Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , where faceless myrmidons hurled an IED outside the Imambargah Mustawafi in sector 11/B, injuring two coppers. |
