Another Car Bomb Found
Reuters is reporting that a huge car bomb was found in Karachi in front of the US Embassy consulate.
A van packed with explosives was towed away from the consulate during the morning rush hour to a nearby sports ground, where bomb disposal experts defused it, police said....A 750-liter drum containing a mixture of chemicals, including ammonium nitrate, was loaded on the van, but apparently it was not connected with detonators, police said.
After yesterday's election results in Spain, I suspect we'll be seeing a lot more of this. Whatever the Spaniards reasons were for their vote, the results will be interpreted by the Islamo-fascists as a huge victory for their side.
And we're all going to pay for that in blood.

Just so you know, it's a consulate in Karachi; the embassy is in Islamabad. I spent three months in the Holiday Inn next door to the consulate and was in the consulate a bunch of times.

Thanks Kevin. I'll correct that right now.

The explanation posted at CalPundit saying that the conservative government's clumsy but persistent attempt to blame the attack on ETA in order to improve their election results was probably the principal cause of the people's vote against them. I've lived in Spain for the past 17 years and was able to contrast first-hand the lack of coverage on state-controlled TV of the reports on the investigation into the attack with the coverage on satellite TV and the Internet.
