Karachi attack was a suicide bomber
2002-05-08
The bus was parked outside the Sheraton Hotel when the bomb went off -- apparently in a second vehicle driven by the bomber, tearing a large crater in the road and destroying nearby vehicles. "We have recovered a charred body from a car," said Sindh provincial police chief Sayed Kamal Shah, referring to the suicide bomber and the bomb-laden vehicle.
Thanx to Bob Ballard...

#3  I read here http://www.asiadaily.com/p/c9/8f177bfb5f32.html that the frenchmen killed were engineers fitting out a submarine the Paki's had bought from the French. What the hell do they need with a submarine?

#2  India's got 15. And the Pak Navy has had subs (acquired from the French) for thirty years.

Pakistan and India's Navies

The Agostas will give them real offensive capability -- the older boats were more for port defense. But heck, everybody's got submarines! They're not THAT big a deal.
