“Eight dead in blast at Danish embassy in Pakistan: state TV”
54 minutes ago

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “ISLAMABAD (AFP) — A suspected suicide car bombing outside the Danish embassy in the Pakistani capital Islamabad on Monday killed at least eight people and wounded several others, state television said.
The blast left a huge crater outside the embassy, damaging the building and a nearby development agency. Several cars were destroyed by the force of the explosion and some were on fire, an AFP reporter said.

Denmark had downgraded the embassy and moved out most foreign staff in recent months due to threats linked to a row over the reproduction in February of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in Danish media, diplomatic sources said.

Government-run Pakistan television said at least eight people were killed in the blast and several more injured. “

People killing themselves and others in order to crush freedom of speech. High tech tools, Neanderthal culture. We'll be seeing a lot more of this. We'll see it everywhere civilization boarders the wilderness, and we'll see it soon. Welcome to the era of New Barbarism.
