PressTV - Saudi diplomat assassinated in Karachi: "The Saudi diplomat was onboard a vehicle with diplomatic plates when two motorcycle riders opened fire at his car at a crossroads, Pakistani police in Karachi told AFP on Monday.
'The consulate employee died of multiple bullet wounds on the spot,' said Karachi police chief Fayyaz Leghari.
'The attackers fled on the motorbike,' he further explained.
The recent assassination marks the second offensive on Saudi interests in Pakistan's largest city in less than a week.
The attack came in the wake of a grenade attack on the Saudi consulate on Wednesday which left no damage or casualties.
The Saudi Ambassador to Pakistan, Abdul Aziz al-Ghadeer, confirmed the attack but did not give details on the rank of the slain diplomat. A Pakistani Home Ministry official, however, said the man was a junior officer."
