Plus6 Explosions Wound 37 in Karachi, Pakistan6 Explosions Wound 37 in Karachi, PakistanThe Associated PressA string of small explosions wounded at least 37 people Monday in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi, rattling the country a day after a deadly suicide attack in the capital, officials said. (July 7)A series of blasts rocked the southern Pakistan city of Karachi. Six blasts went off within an hour of each other in residential and commercial spots in the port city. At least three dozen people were wounded in Monday's blasts. Police arrested five men for their alleged role in the explosions. One official said the attacks appeared to have been pre-planned. And said they may have been aimed at creating ethnic unrest in the region. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, nor has there been for Sunday's blast in Islamabad. At least 18 people-- most of them police officers-- were killed in that attack. Officials say security has now been stepped up in Karachi. But residents appear frustrated at the latest attacks-- one person said "we are living in fear already. Such kinds of blasts further aggravate our feelings." ___ ___, The Associated Press.
