KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Officials say a massive explosion outside Pakistan’s Karachi Airport has killed two people and injured at least eight. Police and the provincial government said a tanker exploded Sunday outside the airport, which is Pakistan’s biggest. But the provincial Home Minister Zia Ul Hassan told local TV station Geo that it was an attack on foreigners. A Home Ministry official said it was an attack on Chinese nationals, one of whom was injured. Videos showed flames engulfing cars and a thick column of smoke rising from the scene.
