At least 22 dead in Karachi bomb blasts

KARACHI: At least 22 people were killed and several others were wounded on Friday after two bombs planted on motorcycles struck a bus at Shahra-e-Faisal and Jinnah Hospital in Karachi.

Women and children were among 12 people killed when a motorcyle packed with explosives rammed into a bus of mourners travelling on Shahra-e-Faisal to join a procession at the end of the holy Muslim month of Muharram.

A second bomb attack near the emergency ward at Jinnah Hospital, where the dead and wounded were being rushed, killed another 10 people.

Witnesses and officials said the bus was packed with mourners heading to a religious procession to mark the last day of Muharram in Karachi.

The attacks were carried out by suicide bombers on motorcycles, a bomb disposal official said.

"Both of the blasts are of the same nature. Both were suicide and both were on motorcycles," Munir Ahmad Sheikh, told Geo.

"In the first attack, the bomber hit the bus. In the second attack, the bomber sitting on a motorcycle exploded himself," he added.
