The Pakistani News Service is reporting that motorcyclists shot up a security checkpoint at the American consulate in Karachi.
The above is a picture I took in 1986 when I spent a few months there. The Hotel Metropole mentioned in the linked news article is a fine old hotel, located just down the street. The Lufthansa aircrew stayed there at that time – the SAS and SwissAir aircrew stayed in the Holiday in where I stayed. There wasn’t a pool at the Metropole, so the Lufthansa stewardesses came up and used the Holiday Inn pool.
