Eleven dead in KFC riot, Al-Qaeda-linked mosque blast in Pakistan

KARACHI (AFP) - Six workers at US fast food outlet KFC died when it was torched by a mob
protesting the Al-Qaeda-linked suicide bombing of a mosque in the Pakistani city of Karachi that
killed five others, police said.

Monday's attack on the minority Shiite mosque in a middle-class neighbourhood and the ensuing riots
have triggered fears that a new wave of sectarian violence might spread across the volatile Islamic
republic.

Four employees of the restaurant, whose outlets are often targeted during outbursts of anti-American
anger in Pakistan, burned to death while another two froze to death after hiding in the walk-in cold
storage, police said. "It was a very sad scene.

When we found the bodies in the freezer one of them had a cellphone in his hand with a missed call
from his wife," Karachi fire brigade chief Azam Ali told AFP.>>>>

I hated to clip this, it is a good article about the Mosque and the riot as well.

Sounds as tho there is more going on than we heard about.

I wonder if any Korans were blown up in these bombings?
