| Bombers Set Off Explosions in Pakistan |
| 2003-05-15 |
| A series of explosions shook 18 Shell gas stations in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi early Thursday, slightly injuring four employees, police and company officials said. Police spokesman Malik Sheikh said two men on a motorcycle went from one station to the next before dawn, placing small explosive devices in garbage cans. "They were are all Shell pumps that were targeted," Police Chief Kamal Shah said, adding that additional security had been deployed to several foreign-based businesses. No one claimed responsibility for the attacks, but law enforcement officials who have raided militant organizations have seized maps of Karachi with Shell stations marked as possible targets. Royal Dutch-Shell Group is a British-Dutch firm based in London — but like many Western-owned businesses in Pakistan, it is frequently mistaken for a U.S. company. Or maybe they noticed that the British supported us in Iraq Police said one of the explosions, in Karachi's posh Clifton neighborhood, was caused by a homemade device with a timer. The devices were small and crude. Police said they were still investigating the attacks. "It is a message that Shell pumps will always be on the hit list because of being a foreign company," Shah said. Cuz foreigners are evil! |

#3 "It is a message that Shell pumps will always be on the hit list because of being a foreign company," Shah said. What a bunch of sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad sad backward, socially retarded children. I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that none of these morons realize what a joke Muslims are becoming around the civilized world (witness the comments that stories like this produce). I have no hope for any of these Islamic hell holes, and actions like this are the reason. Don't fool yourself into thinking this is a minority held attitude. Look at some polls taken by Arab/Muslim newspapers and magazines. Pathetic. |
