KARACHI, Pakistan — An American citizen was critically wounded in what was apparently a militant attack on Thursday in the southern port city of Karachi.

The American, identified as Debra Lobo, 55, was shot twice in her car by two men on a motorcycle as she left work on Thursday afternoon to pick up her husband and daughter, the police said. Ms. Lobo, a longtime resident of Karachi, works at the Jinnah Medical and Dental College, a private medical school, as the vice principal of student affairs.

Let me guess: The school and the victim are both Christian. The perpetrators are merely ‘sharing Allah’s love’, as explained by his prophet (profit), madmo.

Or, is it just that Ms. Lobo sticks out as a Westerner.

I’ve long suspected that the “two men on a motorcycle” assassination teams are often, if not always, employed by some intelligence agency. This is because, if done properly in an urban area, it is very easy for them to get away.

It used to be such a popular assassination technique that it was worth it to try and find out why the target had been chosen, and by who. That is, when an “ordinary” person was hit, they might not have been as ordinary as they seemed.

Why anyone would choose to live and work in the sewer known as Pakistan is beyond me.

A terrible country infested with awful people who have never made a single meaningful positive contribution to the world, but who instead are champion exporters of death, pain and misery.

I believe that particular technique was perfected by a man by the name of Pablo Emilio Escobar-Gaviria in Colombia back in the ‘70s and ‘80s when he was building his empire.

RIP. She was made of sterner stuff than me.

I look forward to the State Dept/White House sterile emotionless comment on her death, that makes no mention of her Christian faith.

we are the lions of Dualat al Islamia,

Such brave lions attacking an lone 55 year-old unarmed woman.

Muslims are cowards and bullies.

They force and keep people in their death cult by fear.

Quite possibly. But it really got its legs during GWII in Iraq and Pakistan.
