So the Taliban is killing fellow Wahhabis to avenge Bin Laden’s death? Fine with me.

(Telegraph) — A Saudi Arabian diplomat was shot dead in Karachi on Monday, in the second attack on the country’s interests in Pakistan since the death of Osama bin Laden.

The Pakistan Taliban, which is linked to al-Qaeda, immediately claimed responsibility in telephone calls to media organisations.

“Until America stops chasing al-Qaeda and stops drone strikes we will keep carrying out such attacks,” said a spokesman, referring to attacks on militants in the north-west of Pakistan.

Police in Karachi said the man worked in the consulate’s security department and was driving a vehicle with diplomatic plates when two motorcycle riders unleashed a hail of gunfire at a crossroads in the city’s upmarket Defence neighbourhood.

Iqbal Mahmood, Chief of Police in the city, said gunmen fired four bullets and fled on their motorcycle, killing him on the spot.
