A powerful car bomb exploded outside a KFC restaurant in the southern Pakistan city of Karachi on Tuesday, killing at least three people and injuring 22 others, police said. The blast struck at about 8.45am local time, as commuters were heading to shops and offices in the crowded business hub.

Six people were killed when a KFC restaurant was set on fire by a mob angry about a suicide attack on a Shi’ite mosque in Karachi, bringing the overall death toll to 11, police said on Tuesday. The fast-food chicken restaurant was targeted in overnight rioting after Monday’s attack on the Madinatul Ilm Imambargah mosque.
