    ISLAMABAD, Nov. 15 (Xinhuanet) -- At least six people were killed and 15 others injured Tuesday morning in car bomb blasts in the southern Pakistani port city of Karachi, according to local TV reports.

    Sindh Governor Dr Ishrat-Ul-Ebad Khan condemned the bombing and directed police in the province to be alert.

    A bomb-planted car exploded at about 8:45 am Tuesday outside the KFC restaurant, said the Karachi police chief Mushtaq Shah.

    Two five-star hotels are located close to the bomb blast site.

    Shah said that investigation into the blast has started. Police have sealed the blast site.

    Several cars were also damaged and widows of the nearby building shattered.

    Ambulances rushed to the site to take the injured to hospitals.

    Meanwhile, Sun Chunye, Chinese Consul General in Karachi, told Xinhua by telephone that there had been no Chinese citizens or overseas Chinese among the casualties.   Enditem
