Four guilty of consulate bombing
KARACHI, Pakistan (Reuters) -- A Pakistan court on Monday convicted four men for involvement in last year's suicide bombing outside the U.S. Consulate in the port city of Karachi, handing down death sentences to two of the men.
An anti-terrorism court judge, Syed Aalay Maqbool Rizvi, found them guilty of masterminding the June 14 bombing in which 12 Pakistanis were killed.
Two men were given life sentences, while a fifth man was acquitted.
Suspected Islamic militants packed a vehicle with explosives and detonated it outside the consulate during the morning rush hour.
