Twin blasts kill 3, injure dozens in Karachi

At least three people were killed and dozens injured on Saturday in two blasts which tore through the area one after the other near the Karachi office of the secular Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).

Pakistan's outlawed Taliban movement Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has laready claimed responsibility for the blasts, which are beleived to be connected with the general election which will take place on May 11.

Police said the second bomb caused greater casualties because rescue workers, law enforcement officers and members of the media had gathered at the location where the first blast had also occured shortly before.
