Two bombs kill eight and wound 50 in Karachi.

KARACHI (Reuters) - Two bombs exploded within minutes of each other in a western neighbourhood of Karachi on Sunday, killing at least eight people and wounding more than 50, police and witnesses said.

The bombs were attached to two motorcycles parked outside a roadside restaurant — owned by a big religious school located next door to it, police said. …

Most of the victims were students of an Islamic school, who frequented this restaurant.

Why would radical Muslims commit mass murder at an Islamic school?

More than 5,000 students from at least 50 countries study at the religious school called Jamia Binori — considered a moderate institution as it also gives modern education along with Islamic teachings.

Tariq Madani, an employee at the school, said his institution was considered a non-controversial one and kept itself away from extremism. “But even we have been targeted. It is a shame.”
