| Five hurt in Pakistan blast |
| 2002-10-20 |
| A bomb has exploded in a vegetable market in Pakistan, injuring at least five people, including a child. The market in the town of Kamra near Attock city, about 70 kilometres west of the capital, Islamabad, was busy with Sunday shoppers. Nine people were injured last week in a series of parcel bomb attacks in the southern city of Karachi. Correspondents say Islamic militants were suspected of carrying out that attack, angered at the Pakistani authorities' support for the US-led war on terrorism. What they're angered about isn't what's important. What's important is the fact that they're angry at something. You can't blow things up if you're not angered about something. This only applies to Islamists, by the way; I'm angered at Catholic priests buggering young boys, but I've yet to blow up a church. I haven't seen anyone else do it, either, outside of Islamists. |
