#1 Mobs of angry Shi'ite youths stoned and set fire to a nearby outlet of the American fast food chain KFC and also attacked a hospital and two petrol stations.

Luckily, El Al does not have an office in Pakiwackystan.

What is wrong with these people? [just a rhetorical question...]

(Updated at 0515 PST) By Afzal Nadeem
KARACHI: An enraged mob of protesters have torched a restaurant located at the Neepa Chowrangi area of Karachi after the blast in the Madina-tul-Ilm mosque and six charred bodies have been recovered from the restaurant late night.

All the six bodies have completely burned to ashes. The bodies have been identified as electrician Mohammad Saleem, one sales manager, an AC technician security guard Ghulam Hussain and two other employees the names of whom have yet to be identified.

At least more then a hundred people were present in the restaurant when it was set on fire. Nearby shops and many other buildings were also damaged due to the torching of the restaurant. Many people are searching for their loved ones outside the restaurant even now. They say that their relatives who came to the restaurant have not returned to their homes even now.

Relief activities are underway and it is suspected that more damages can occur. Meanwhile the police officials who killed the attackers of the Madina-tul-Ilm mosque have been promoted while the funeral prayer of Raza Rashid Hussain the police official who was killed in the attack would be held at the police headquarters in Garden today.
