Karachi bomb causes fears about England cricket team
A bomb explosion in Karachi has led to new worries about the safety of
the England cricket team and they are due to meet Pakistan in a one-day
international at the city's National Stadium on 15 December.
The explosion occurred outside a restaraunt close to the hotel where the team will be based.
"The team will be secure wherever they go - whether it's Karachi,
Lahore or Rawalpindi," said Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar
Khan.
"This is a global phenomenon. We must not allow the bombers and terrorists to win.
"We have to hold firm, life must go on and I think playing cricket is
part of the normalcy that we are all absolutely committed will not be
disrupted," said Shaharyar Khan.
Reports say that a car bomb triggered by remote control was
the starting point of the explosion, which killed at least two people
and injured 15 more. Pakistan's largest city has already seen several
bomb attacks blamed on Islamic extremists opposed to the government
there.
