11th November 2010 witnessed this treacherous event in Karachi, it had a huge impact in the area.Though it wasn't quiet shocking for two reasons, firstly as Pakistani citizens, we are all very used to bomb blasts and firing and civil unrest, its become part of the daily news. We hear there was a blast in the city, the first thing we want to know is where so that it doesn't affect our plan or anyone we know and later we wonder about the casualties. Secondly the blast was on the CID headquarters, which in my opinion would be the biggest target for a terrorist and yet it was located a commercial area where there are offices and Hotels. However the biggest surprise was despite it being located in a high security area, this event took place. What does that say about other areas with little security? It is also confusing how a truck full of explosives and weapons wasn't detected in that location which is usually, as far as I have seen, swarmed with cop cars.
The blast caused damage to nearby buildings and residential apartments, besides that mirrors were broken even in far off areas. It is sad but it also reflects the failure of law enforcement and security in Karachi, also I belive that a building which is likely to be targeted the most should not be operating in a commercial area, it should be undercover.
