New Delhi: The aftermath of terror in Pakistan. In fact, as they take stock of the situation in Karachi, there has been another blast in Dera Ismail Khan. A cycle bomb went off in a high security zone near the Sessions Court.
On Thursday night suicide bombers struck former prime minister Benazir Bhutto's convoy, killing over 165 people and leaving neary 450 injured. Bhutto escaped unhurt hours after her return from an eight-year self-exile. Reacting to the deadly Bhutto has demanded ISI chief’s resignation.
“I am aware of the security threats and have written a letter to General Musharraf. Extremists fear my return. I want ISI chief’s resignation,” Bhutto said. Its believed to be an al-Qaeda attack.
Bhutto was on her way to a party meeting in Karachi, greeting thousands of supporters who had gathered to welcome her, when two bombs went off right next to her convoy, killing more than 160 people and injuring hundreds others.
The former Pakistan prime minister could have also been hurt or killed, had she not stepped inside the armoured vehicle for a while. Pakistan People’s Party workers and police confirmed Bhutto, was unhurt. She was rushed from the site of the blasts to her home, Bilawal House, soon after the explosions, the party spokesman Farhatullah Babar said.
Police Chief Azhar Farooqi told Dawn News that Bhutto was rushed from the area under contingency plans. ''She was evacuated very safely and is now in Bilawal House,'' Farooqi said.
