ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - A bomb exploded in the back garden of an Italian restaurant crowded with foreigners in Pakistan's capital yesterday, killing a Turkish woman and wounding 11 others, police said.
Personnel from the U.S. and British embassies were among the wounded. A list of victims was posted in the reception area at Islamabad's Poly Clinic. Five U.S. citizens were listed as undergoing surgery. It said one Japanese, one Canadian, one Briton and three Pakistanis were wounded.
The attack appeared to be the first aimed at foreigners in a recent wave of violence in Pakistan. It came two days before Pakistan's new parliament was set to convene tomorrow.
