Pakistan - Bomb kills youngsters
Print Edition
A BOMB killed 11 people in a poor district of Pakistan’s financial hub of Karachi on Wednesday. Most were teenagers playing street football at a crowded market, officials said.
The sweltering port of 18 million people is largely inured to violence — around a dozen bodies are found around the city every day — but the killing of so many youngsters shocked many residents.
It was unclear who was behind the blast in the Lyari district, a stronghold of the main opposition Pakistan People’s Party. Karachi is home to many militant groups, including the Taliban.
Many political parties there have armed wings to fight turf wars.
