Dhaka condemns Karachi blasts
Saturday, 20 October 2007
Bangladesh condemned the bombings in Karachi in the wake of the return of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto that left scores dead and many injured. A spokesman of the Bangladesh Foreign Ministry termed the bombings a dastardly act of cowardice. He conveyed heart-felt sympathy to the bereaved families and prayed for early recovery of the injured, said a press release. Former Pakistani premier Benazir Bhutto narrowly escaped a suicide bombing that shattered her homecoming procession and killed up to 126 people hours after she had returned to Pakistan Thursday night. — UNB
