EVEN THE KENTUCKY COLONEL ISN’ T SAFE ANYMORE!

A very powerful blast in a vehicle parked
in front of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant brought back memories
of two Pakistani officers in my graduating USAFIHL class in Advanced Forecasting.
They were about 15 years my senior, and have probably gone on into eternity.
They were both Muslim, very nice fellows, and I enjoyed many hours of pleasant conversation with them.
They immediately came to mind this morning because the terrorist car bomb episode occurred in Karachi, where they both were stationed – They were Captains Umar and Nazier in the Pakistani Air Force.
The car bomb blast immediately killed two people and wounded some fifteen, six of which are listed in serious condition.
The dead were both security guards.
The explosion’s force blew a cr
ater some six feet deep under the vehicle where it had been implanted, demolished the front gate of the Kentucky Fried restaurant, destroyed several cars, and shattered windows in nearby buildings.
Well, at last we can be thankful we haven’t had to post security guards for protection from terrorists in front of our Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants, that is, at least not yet.
