This seems to be right out of FBI's counter terrorism book where they expect a first blast to be followed by a second one to target the emergency responders. Slight twist that the 2nd one happened near the hospital where the injured were being taken but the similarity is visible

Dozens injured in Karachi hospital blast
KARACHI: Casualties have been feared in a severe blast that rocked the main gate of Jinnah Hospital’s emergency ward where the wounded of a deadly suicide attack occurred hour before were being treated, reported ARY NEWS.
Near 12 dead bodies and 50 wounded of an earlier suicide attack on a bus carrying Shiite mourners to Chehlum procession have been rushed to the emergency ward of Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Center where hundreds of their attendees, relatives and media persons were gathered.
The blast which apparently occurred in an ambulance was as severe as it shattered all the windowpanes of the hospital and damaged many of the parked ambulances, cars and motorcycles and other installations.
Dozens of people have been injured in the attack and were being rushed to other medical facilities, including Civil, Liaquat National and Aga Khan hospitals, as the emergency of JPMC is already filled to capacity with the victims of noon’s blast.
Security has further been beefed up at the blast site, the channel added.

Sorry to hear about this cruel act. Targeting hospitals is very sick.
This was exactly what had happened in Ahmedabad in India 2 years back ... at that time the toll was over 50.
When somebody's legs are blown off it is so meaningless to fight over who is Shia or Sunni, Hindu or Muslim.

WoT hits home:
I live 200 yards (as the crow flies) from the JPMC suicide blast - they say it was 10 kg but it rocked our flat (Askari III apts). so it was definately much stronger than 10 kg.
now they say that they have found a TV in JPMC which has a bomb fitted in it.!!!
the world is going crazy!

I gues they might b expcting some specticular results but ppl have realised and unilike the last incident there was no retaliation. The perpatrators have lost again !!
Twin blasts hit Karachi, 22 killed
PAKISTAN - 5 FEBRUARY 2010
KARACHI Two suicide bombers on motorcycles struck a bus and hospital in Karachi on Friday, killing 22 people in the second attack in as many months targeting Shiite Muslims in Pakistan's financial capital.
The attacks in a city largely isolated from Islamist attacks highlighted the terrorist threat in Pakistan, which is on the frontline of the US war on Al-Qaeda and where militants have killed more than 3,000 people since 2007.
Women and children were among 12 people killed when a motorcyle rigged with explosives rammed into a bus of Shiites travelling on one of Karachi's busiest roads to join a procession at the end of the holy Muslim month of Muharram.
A second bomb attack near the emergency ward at Jinnah Hospital, where the dead and wounded were being rushed, killed another 10 people.
Witnesses and officials said the bus was packed with Shiite Muslims heading to a religious procession to mark the last day of Muharram in Karachi, a city of 16 million people with a sprawling port on the Arabian sea.
"I saw a man riding a motorcycle. He hit the bus on the wrong side of the road, on the left, and then there was a huge explosion," said Jaafar Ali, a mechanic in his mid-20s, who had been travelling in another vehicle.
"Some of my friends were sitting in that bus. I'm going to the hospital. I don't know whether they are dead or survived," he told AFP in tears.
Nails pierced the walls and doors of a bungalow on the side of the road. Blood stained the inside of the bus and shoes were lying nearby on the road, said an AFP reporter.
"We have counted 12 dead bodies and more than 50 injured. There are children and women among the killed and wounded," Doctor Seemi Jamali, chief of Jinnah Hospital in Karachi, told AFP.
"Twelve of the injured are in a critical condition. The injured told me a man riding a motorcycle hit the bus and then the explosion came," she added.
"Ten people were killed and more than 20 were injured in the second bomb blast. This happened in front of the emergency ward of Jinnah Hospital," Jameel Soomro, a spokesman for the government in Sindh, where Karachi is the capital.
The attacks were carried out by suicide bombers on motorcycles, a bomb disposal official said.
"Both of the blasts are of the same nature. Both were suicide and both were on motorcycles," Munir Ahmad Sheikh, told private television channel Geo from Karachi.
"In the first attack, the bomber hit the bus. In the second attack, the bomber sitting on a motorcycle exploded himself," he added.
The attack happened in a smart residential area on the main Faisal highway that intersects the city. Volunteers helped evacuate the wounded as ambulances raced past armed security forces patrolling the area.
On December 28, a bombing killed 43 people and reduced to a bloodbath a parade marking the holiest Shiite day of Ashura earlier in Muharram.
Pakistan's feared Taliban network claimed responsibility for that attack, sparking riots that caused huge financial losses.
Sectarian violence periodically flares in Pakistan between Shiites, who beat and whip themselves in religious fervour during Ashura, and the country's majority Sunnis, who oppose the public display of grief.
Shiites account for about 20 percent of Pakistan's mostly Sunni Muslim population of 167 million. More than 4,000 people have died in outbreaks of sectarian violence in Pakistan since the late 1980s.
Pakistan has seen a recent decline in militant attacks, attributed both to the success of a US drone war and Pakistani offensives in the tribal belt by the Afghan border where Taliban and Al-Qaeda networks are based.
Last month, 153 people were killed by militants in Pakistan -- nearly half the 275 killed in October, according to an AFP tally.
But security had been stepped up in Karachi with a wave of political violence killing at least 37 activists from rival parties in the local government in the last five days, following 48 similar killings last month.

hahahaha
bro its a deep game
Sorry Brother it is not a deep game. It is called Target killing only Shia Muslim on the name of Islam which did Yazeed in 1400 years ago.
Please open your eyes. Don't put that on politics. Share responsibility as a Fellow citizen. Make awareness about actual Muslim sprite.
