| At least one person was killed and seven were injured when a roadside bomb exploded near a religious seminary vehicle early today in the Pakistani port city of Karachi, police said. "It was a timer bomb fixed at the footpath near northern part of the city. When the van came near it, the bomb blew off," senior police officer of the city, Munir Khoro, said. The van was carrying staff and students of Jamia Al-Rasheedia Trust whose bank accounts have been seized by government on suspicion of aiding al-Qaeda members in the country and abroad. Meanwhile, police dismissed reports that the explosion occurred inside the vehicle. |
