Blast rocks Karachi Shia mosque

From The BBC

A bomb blast has killed at least six people and injured many others at a Shia mosque in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi, correspondents say.

The blast comes a day after the Sunni Muslim cleric, Mufti Nizamuddin Shamzai, was shot dead as he drove to his religious school.


Shoddy reporting from the BBC again. One has to wonder why they always downplay these terrorist.

As I
posted earlier:

Mufti Shamzai was the head of the Jamiat ul-Uloom il Islamiyyah mosque, also known as Binori Town, which is one of the most radical Deobandi seminaries in all of Pakistan

This was where the majority of the "officer corps" of the South Asian branch of bin Laden's International Front were indoctrinated, from the Taliban leadership to members of the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, the Sipah-e-Sahaba, the Harakat ul-Mujahideen, the Harakat ul-Jihad-e-Islami, and lastly the Jaish-e-Mohammed, which regarded Shamzai as its spiritual leader.

Religious school indeed! That is like saying Al-Jazeera is Sesame Street.

Why does the BBC not want its' readers to know the facts?

UPDATE CNN downplays this terrorist as well.
