Blood-Lusters at Work. Again.

This time, they strike a KFC in Karachi, Pakistan. My Way News has the story here.

A powerful car bomb exploded outside the front entrance to a KFC restaurant in the southern Pakistan city of Karachi early Tuesday, killing at least three people and injuring 12 others, police said.

The blast, which went off about 8:45 a.m., badly damaged the restaurant, part of the global American fast food chain, burning several cars along the street in front.

Mushtaq Shah, Karachi's police chief, told reporters the bomb was concealed in a car parked outside the restaurant.

Another police official, Sanaullah Abbasi, said three people were killed in the blast and 12 injured.

The bomb struck as commuters were heading to offices and shops in the crowded business hub. Hundreds of people gathered at the site near the Pearl Intercontinental Hotel that is popular with foreign tourists and business people.

"I can see that the KFC building is burning, six cars have caught fire and injured people are lying on the road," said Saeed Mohammad, a traffic police official who rushed to the scene after hearing the blast.

Karachi, Pakistan's largest city, is a hotbed of Muslim militancy and previous bombings in the city have been linked to Islamic extremists opposed to Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's close ties to the United States. Pakistan has been a key ally in the struggle against Muslim extremists tied to al-Qaida and Afghanistan's former Taliban regime.

Pakistan's information minister, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, condemned the blast, calling it the work of the "enemies of Pakistan."

Islamofascists use the Kashmere/Madrid playbook to send a message to President General Musharraf. If he's wise, however, Mr. Musharraf will listen instead to the message Jordanians have sent the world. The silence of supporters or qualifiers from the Arab Street is defeaning. And defining.
