Pak militants target top judge; 12 killed

Bomb attacks in Pakistan killed 12 people and wounded 14 others yesterday, including a senior judge who was critically injured following a blast in the business capital Karachi, officials said.
The first bomb targeted Maqbool Baqir, a judge at the high court in southern province Sindh in the port city of Karachi, killing at least nine people on a busy street during the morning rush hour.
The bomb, planted on a motorbike, exploded as Baqir drove past with his security detail in Burns Road in the centre of the city.  At least nine people, including eight members of the judge's security detail, were killed and 14 other people wounded.
