9 killed in bombings as Pakistanis go to polls

None

Twin bombings killed nine people and wounded dozens as Pakistanis streamed to the polls Saturday to vote in a historic election. The blasts in the port city of Karachi targeted the political offices of the Awami National Party, one of three secular liberal parties that have been targeted by Taliban militants during the run-up to the election, a police officer said.

 

More than 130 people were killed in bombings and shootings ahead of Saturday's historic vote in what many observers have called Pakistan's most deadly election.
