4 Parcel Bombs Explode in Pakistan
Four small parcel bombs exploded within minutes of each other at police and government offices in the volatile port city of Karachi on Wednesday, injuring at least nine people, police said. A fifth bomb was sent to a police station but did not go off. At least one of the parcels had "From Mutahida Majlis-e-Amal," written on it, said Sindh province Home Secretary Mukhtar Ahmad Sheikh, a reference to the United Action Front, a coalition of anti-American religious parties that made unprecedented gains in last week's national elections. Sheikh said, however, that authorities had no reason to believe the group was actually behind the attacks.
