Eight dead, 12 injured in blast at Danish mission in Pakistan ISLAMABAD, June 2 (Agencies): At least three persons were killed and several injured in a blast outside the Danish embassy in Islamabad on Monday (a private television channel put the latest casualty toll at eight dead and 12 injured). “I have seen three bodies,” Reuters correspondent Kamran Haider said, adding that one body was just inside the gate and two were outside. The blast damaged a wall of the mission and a gate and left a crater on the road. “It appears to have been a car bomb,” he said. Security officials said there were several casualties as well. The force of the blast badly damaged two buildings in front of the embassy and left a huge crater, while the injured were being taken on stretchers, an AFP reporter at the scene said. The explosive wrecked dozens of cars, Dawn News TV’s Arjumand Azhar reported. According to Dawn News TV, interior ministry secretary Kamal Shah confirmed the blast outside the embassy but had no further details. Its footage showed dozens of cars damaged and a large crater as rescue workers removed at least one injured person. (First Posted @ 13:30 PST, Updated @ 14:05 PST)
