KARACHI: The series of bomb blasts at 21 petrol pumps on Thursday is a frightening reminder of the city's vulnerability to terror and violence. Mercifully, the blasts were of a low intensity and caused no loss of life.
The blasts occurred within a period of less than an hour in the early hours of the morning and were clearly intended as a warning of some kind. Interestingly, the blasts occurred at pumps owned by foreign companies and could well be linked to the insidious campaign against foreigners and foreign interests that has repeatedly rocked Karachi in the aftermath of Sept 11.
