Country is facing Everyday a new tragedy, Peshawar, Karachi,Quetta from North to South the whole belt is loosing their love ones and hope due to these tragic incidences .

KARACHI: Many people including women and children were killed and over 140 others sustained injuries after a powerful blast ripped through a densely populated area near Abbas Town, Health Department of Sindh said Sunday.






Initial reports said the perpetrators had used a remote-detonated improvised explosive device (RDIED) to bomb their targets at entrance of Abbas Town.
Another low intensity blast was also reported to have followed the main one, which the sources said could have been a CNG cylinder explosion.
The area plunged into darkness as the shock wave and flying debris felled many electricity poles. A Pole Mounted Transformer (PMT) was also reported to have broken down --some said it exploded-- after the blast.
"There were two blasts but it was not clear whether the second was also a bomb", IG of Police SIndh Fayaz Lughari told a foreign news agency.
Fire broke out in some of the apartment buildings after the blast, which the fire brigade was trying to bring under control with the help of tenders and a snorkel.
"Thick black smoke is billowing from the site of the blast. The whole area reeks of detonated explosives", said eyewitnesses right after the blast.
The blast left a four-feet deep and ten-feet wide crater, security officials said later.
"At least 150 kilograms of explosives were used in the VBIED, which you cannot hide inside a bike. Our findings suggest a four-wheeler was used as the carrier of the bomb evident from parts of a car engine found from the site", sources quoted the bomb experts as saying.
However an eyewitness said he saw a Suzuki Bolan and a rickshaw entering the area minutes before the explosion.
The local residents did not wait for the government officials or the rescue services and started pulling people out of the rubble and rushing them to the hospitals on their own. They complained that no government team or machinery showed up after the blast.
