KARACHI, May 31 (Reuters) - Eleven people were killed in a night of violence in Karachi when a suicide attack on a mosque blamed on a group linked to al Qaeda spiralled into a riot that burned to death six at American fast-food outlet KFC.
Angry Shi'ites set fire to the restaurant in revenge after five people were killed and 18 wounded in the Monday night suicide bomb blast at a mosque in Karachi's middle-class Gulshan-e-Iqbal district, police said on Tuesday.
The KFC outlet was torched just minutes after the blast at the mosque. Angry Shi'ite youths also attacked a hospital, two petrol stations and burned more than a dozen vehicles.
Intelligence agents said they suspect Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a banned Sunni Muslim militant group with ties to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network, as the perpetrators...

...One of the attackers who survived -- a man who identified himself as Muhammad Jameel of Karachi's low-income Orangi Town neighbourhood -- was being questioned by police....
Geez, your life is beyond pathetic if you're not even a competent suicide bomber.
How in the world was torching a KFC considered "revenge" for a suicide bombing? Granted, expecting logic to be involved in this is a little unrealistic - but sheesh!
In Islam, the only assurance of salvation is death as a martyr...so anyone who dies as a martyr is actually afraid (or chicken) of attempting to get into Allah's good graces on their own merits. Thus the "chicken" tie in. Suicide bombers are really the biggest cowards in Islam. Since another term for coward is chicken the muslim mind equates that to burning KFC's.
Now before someone goes and slams this theory remember this, it's at least as ration as the quran.
