#1 "34 vehicles have been set on fire in Karachi"

Only 34? They need to get their brethren from Paris to give them lessons in proper car-be-queing.

#2 Cars are a lot more dear in Sindh than in the banlieues. Somebody with a gun might object if you set fire to any particular car in Karachi.

#3 Ah, yes, Mitch. In Pakistan potential victims might have guns.

Some 39 years ago the US had a rather popular family dynasty politician running for President who was assassinated (by a Muslim) at a campaign rally. We had quite a few riots going on around then - surely the assassination was the excuse for some of them.

#5 From Wikipedia, salt to taste:

Sirhan was born in Jerusalem to Christian Arab parents and was raised in the Maronite Church. In his adult life however, he made several religious conversions, joining Baptist and Seventh-day Adventist churches, and dabbled in the occult. His family, which moved to the United States when Sirhan was 12, briefly lived in New York, and soon moved to California. He attended John Muir High School and Pasadena City College in Pasadena, California and was employed as a stable boy in 1965 at the Santa Anita Race Track in Arcadia, California.
