More peace in Karachi

From News24:

Six Kentucky Fried Chicken employees were burned alive (or rather 4 were burned and 2 were frozen to death) when a mob protesting the suicide bombing of a Shia mosque decided to blame fried chicken for everything.

Three people and two attackers had died during the mosque attack, and 21 were injured.

In spite of the fact that bombing Shia mosques is a time-honored tradition among Sunni terrorist groups in Pakistan, and occasionally the other way around, too, this time the peaceful mob decided to burn KFC, two gas stations and a number of vehicles as a retaliation. The story does not tell whether the KFC employees were Shia or Sunni, or whether anyone cared.

It is apparently traditional in Pakistan to attack American chain restaurants while on a rampage. Also the movie theaters that show American movies, the hospitals, and the all-time Western favorite - the police cars.

Note to self: Pakistan is probably not a good vacation destination.
