Suicide bomb claims the lives of 5 people

Five people have died in suicide bombing outside the US Consulate in the Pakistani city of Karachi.

The attacker smashed a car, laden with explosives, into a guard post.

The blast incinerated nearby vehicles, destroyed part of a wall around the compound and sent debris flying more than half a mile away.

Editor of the Karachi Herald Aamer Ahmed Khan says security is tight there.
