Following a suicide bombing attack by Sunni Muslims on a Shi’ite Muslim mosque in Karachi, Pakistan, a mob of enraged Shi’ites attacked (what else?) a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, killing six employees.

KARACHI — Pakistan Police on Tuesday recovered bodies of six employees of a KFC restaurant that was set on fire by a mob angry over a suicide attack at a Shiite mosque in Karachi, raising the overall death toll in the violence to 11, officials said. �

Four of the victims at the fast-food chicken restaurant were burned to death while the two others froze to death after taking refuge in a refrigeration unit at the restaurant, senior police official Manzoor Mughal said. �

The restaurant was targeted after Monday’s attack on the Madinatul Ilm Imambargah mosque in the southern city of Karachi. Three suicide attackers clashed with police and exploded a bomb at the mosque in violence that killed two of the attackers, two policemen and one worshipper and wounded 26. �

Sunni Muslim extremists were suspected in the mosque attack, and it was unclear why the KFC restaurant was targeted in retaliatory rioting, along with arson attacks on vehicles, shops, three bank branches and three gas stations.
