Two hurt in bomb blast in Karachi

KARACHI: A low-intensity bomb attack in Pakistan's biggest city of Karachi on Saturday wounded two people and caused panic, police said.

The remote-controlled roadside bomb exploded close to the site where a Friday bomb attack killed three soldiers from the Rangers paramilitary force.

Police said the target of the attack was not immediately clear, but the bomb exploded when a vehicle of Rangers was passing near Karachi University.

"It was a planted bomb. Two passers-by were injured," Salam Sheikh, a senior police officer, told AFP.

A spokesman for the Rangers said that troops remained unhurt in the incident.
