Car bomb hits Karachi restaurant


At least three people have been killed and 15 others wounded after a car bomb struck a fast-food restaurant in Karachi, southern Pakistan.

Police said the blast ripped through the front of a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet and burned several vehicles.

The bomb exploded in a crowded business area near two luxury hotels at 08:40, during rush hour.

It is not clear who carried out the attack. Previous Karachi bombings have been blamed on religious extremists.

High-intensity blast

Karachi police chief Mushtaq Shah told journalists the bomb was hidden in a car parked outside the restaurant.

"It was a high-intensity explosion and its noise was heard in several parts of the city," he said.

"It appears that the KFC was the target."

He said it was detonated by remote control.

Two guards were killed, and one person died later of injuries sustained in the blast. The authorities say five people remain in a critical condition.

Local ambulance workers initially said six people had been killed, but police and government spokesmen cast doubt on that figure.

In September, several people were wounded when a Kentucky Fried Chicken and a McDonald`s restaurant were bombed.

In May, six people were killed when protesters set fire to a KFC outlet in the city, during clashes between religious groups.

Tuesday`s blast comes as a court in Karachi was due to hear an appeal against the death sentence for Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, who was convicted of the kidnapping and murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl.
