Breaking News : Blast outside Karachi railway station kills six

[karan.1970]

KARACHI: At least six people were killed when a loud explosion ripped apart a passenger bus parked outside the gates of Karachi Cantonment Station, the main railway station in the city.

The large blast completely ripped opened the roof of the bus, scheduled to depart for Sargodha, which caught fire following the explosion.

“There are reports of five people being killed in the blast. The injured have been shifted to Jinnah Hospital,” said Ahmed Chinoy, the head of the Citizen Police Liaison Committee (CPLC).

At least 40 other people were also injured in the blast, with five of them said to be in critical condition, hospital officials said.

The nature of the explosion could not be ascertained.

“So far, we are unable to say whether the explosion was a terrorist attack or a cylinder blast,” said Chinoy.

Karachi’s Cantt Station is one of the busiest areas of the city. It is one of the main terminals for inter-city travel as well as outside the city. The bus and coach terminals right outside the station are also used by hundreds everyday for travel to different parts of the country.

An emergency was enforced at the Jinnah Hospital, which is located close to the blast site.

So just cuz I beleive that Pakistan army and ISI is not really getting to the root of the problem, you call me Indian? Interesting stuff. Let's say if I was to curse them, then maybe you would start calling me infidel or a zionist. Just a fyi, I love Pakistan Army and ISI!

they are not supporting NATO's WoT sadly. and their border is not as mountainous like ours. for example we get no elements sneaking in from plains of Balochistan. all come from places where there are mountains & easier place to hide.

It was a bomb acc. to reuters:

Blast in Pakistan's Karachi kills six on bus, 48 hurt.

By Imtiaz Shah
KARACHI, Pakistan | Sat Dec 29, 2012 8:30am EST
(Reuters) - A bomb went off on a bus in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi on Saturday killing six people and wounding 48, police and a hospital official said.

Pakistan's commercial capital and biggest city has seen numerous militant attacks over the past 10 years and is also plagued by violence between rival ethnic-based factions.

The bus sustained serious damage in the explosion and a subsequent fire. While police said the bomb had been planted on the bus, provincial official Sharfud Din Memon said it was left on a motor-bike and went off as the bus passed.

Eight of the wounded were in critical condition, said Seemi Jamali, a doctor at Jinnah Hospital.

My cousin is not getting any rest tonight. Her shift was suppose to end at Jinnah, she's been awake since 30 hours. Guess she has to stay there longer... Karachi police is a joke. Its political parties that are trying to get army to intervene so that elections get postponed. Stupid zardari and his thugs.

Why does Iran have no such problems? Do they protect their borders better?

Nope, they occasionally show North America (including Canada) the middle finger. We should do this too, maybe that would make this nonsense stop
