Mohammad Yousuf, a witness, speaking today to Reuters in Karachi after a bomb blast that targeted an ANP politician:

"As soon as Awami National Party (ANP) candidate Amanullah Mehsud was at a distance from me and my brother, suddenly the blast happened. When I rushed to the scene, I saw bodies lying all over the ground, some without limbs, another without a head. I carried the injured to the hospital. I don't know what happened. My brother is still in the hospital."
