Explosion in Karachi by: Rachel Devine

     Last Friday, an explosion in Karachi, Pakistan killed 8 people and injured more than 20. According to the police, the target of the blast was a meeting of the Awami National Party, an anti-Taliban liberal political party. Earlier in the week, another anti-Taliban group, Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM), was the target of another blast; Taliban spokesman Ihsan Ullah claimed responsibility for it. "The government failed to provide us with security," said MQM official, "These coward attackes can't demoralize our workers... We will defeat the Taliban by providing education to people."
 
     This article saddens me because it just goes to show how much conflict is surrounding us. I wish all the violence and bombing would stop and that we could just live in harmony.

  1. It's obvious there is a lot of violence in Pakistan if there were multiple bombings in one week.
