Suicide Attack on Danish Embassy in Pakistan

(Islamabad, Pakistan) Eight people thus far are reported dead and more than 30 are injured after a massive midday suicide car bomb blast outside the Danish Embassy in Islamabad.

According to Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller, Danes have now been warned not to travel to Pakistan.

No Danish citizens were injured by the bomb when it exploded, he said, but one Pakistani employee at the embassy died at the scene.

“The four Danish nationals, three expatriate diplomats and a Danish employee living in Pakistan, were not injured in the attack,” Moeller said. One Pakistani cleaner working at the embassy was killed and three other Pakistani employees were injured, he added.

Denmark had recently removed most foreign staff from its embassy in Islamabad, transferring them to secret locations in Afghanistan and Algeria after threats linked to republication of the cartoons in February this year.

Ayman al-Zawahi, Al-Qaeda's number two, recently called for attacks on Danish targets over the cartoons.

The blast left a meter-deep crater in front of the embassy building, which suffered heavy damage.

No group has claimed responsibility as yet. However, certain followers of the religion of peace are still pissed about stupid cartoons. Honestly, though, if it wasn't the cartoons, it would be something else just as stupid.
