Eight dead in Islamic school bombing

TWO bombs ripped through an Islamic school in Pakistan yesterday, killing eight and injuring 42 in the latest outbreak of violence gripping the southern port city of Karachi.

The blasts went off near a restaurant on the grounds of Jamia Binoria, a Sunni Muslim seminary where thousands of teenagers and young adults study, said Fayyaz Leghari, a senior Karachi police official.

No one has claimed responsibility.
