Pakistan Elections: Over 17 injured in blasts

The worst fear of Pakistan came alive as multiple blasts hit three Pakistani cities on Saturday. As a historic democratic election is underway in the nation, media reports stated that the blasts killed about 17 people and many more are feared to be injured. Two blasts were reported in Pakistan's financial hub of Karachi which targeted the office of the Awami National Party. Taliban militants had threatened to attack three political parties on election day. Awami National Party offices were also targeted by Taliban militants during the run-up to the elections. This has been sighted as one of the deadliest elections in Pakistan as more than 130 people have been killed in bombings and shootings ahead of the historic vote.
