A suicide bomber detonated his explosive-laden vest near a van carrying Japanese autoworkers in Pakistan's port city of Karachi on Friday. Fortunately, the autoworkers narrowly escaped the attack, but three bystanders were wounded in the incident.
The attack occurred as the van was en route to an industrial area where the Japanese nationals worked at Pakistan Suzuki Motors, according to local police chief Arshad Awan. Police escorting the Japanese retaliated after being attacked, resulting in the death of an accomplice of the suicide bomber whose remains were found at the scene.
