<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Pakistan bombing 'planned meticulously'</b>: Karachi police chief KARACHI, Oct 19 (AFP) The deadly attack targeting Benazir Bhutto's homecoming parade was “planned meticulously and conducted expertly,” Karachi's police chief Azhar Farooqi said Friday. At least 125 people were killed in the blasts that ripped through a crowded street in Karachi early Friday as the former prime minister was being driven through following her return from eight years in exile. “It was a suicide attack targetting Benazir Bhutto. Her truck could have been blasted completely but the police security bore the brunt of the attack,” Farooqi told AFP. “First a grenade was thrown at the crowd and then the suicide bomber blew himself up. It is a pattern that would suggest the attack was planned meticulously and conducted expertly, certainly not by a novice.” It was not immediately clear how many people were involved in the attack or who was behind it. “I am not in a position to name any organisation. The investigations are under way,” Farooqi said. Benazir’s husband Asif Ali Zardari alleged a Pakistani intelligence agency was behind the attack. (Posted @ 08:45 PST)<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
