6 die in Danish embassy bomb attack in Pakistan

A HUGE car bomb exploded outside the Danish embassy in the Pakistani capital yesterday, killing at least six people and wounding dozens more.

The blast echoed through Islamabad and left a crater more than three feet deep in the road in front of the main gate to the embassy. Glass, fallen masonry and dozens of wrecked vehicles littered the area.

A perimeter wall of the embassy collapsed and its metal gate was blown inward, but the embassy building itself remained standing, though its windows were shattered.
