Pakistan: Karachi bomb was planted in Koran box. Pakistanis stunned.

I ask again, where is the outrage? And is it just me, or does it sound like the Pakistani authorities believe the Shia in the Ashura celebration were in fact responsible for the bombing and ensuing riots in some sort of false flag operation? Hmmm.

From AKI:

Close scrutiny of CCTV footage and mobile phone intercepts by Pakistan’s top intelligence agency has shown that last week's deadly bomb attack in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi was not a suicide blast but a planted device. And the riots that erupted in the city were not a spontaneous reaction to the bombing, which killed 44 people, but a premeditated criminal act of violence that caused 500 million dollars of damage.

Pakistani interior minister Rahman Malik also confirmed during a visit to Karachi on Monday that the blast at an Ashura mourning procession was not a suicide attack.

“We are reviewing the case with a new angle and will uncover the whole conspiracy,” Rahman told reporters.

Pakistanis were stunned when CCTV footage aired on national television on late on Sunday showed last Monday's bomb was planted in a box containing holy Koranic papers.

The CCTV footage showed showed the outrage of participants at the mourning procession immediately after the bombing. But within one hour after the blast, the footage showed what appeared to be organised gangs infiltrating the mourners.
