Various of mourners carrying caskets away for burial STORYLINE: Hundreds of supporters of Pakistan's Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) attended funeral prayers on Friday for party workers killed in a bomb blast outside their Karachi office on Thursday night. Five people were killed and another nine injured in the blast, according to a senior police official. MQM, which is the main political force in Karachi, called for a strike on Friday in protest at Thursday's attack, and on Friday the streets were quiet with many residents staying at home. As the Pakistan election, set for May 11, approaches militant groups have increasingly been attacking liberal, secular parties such as the one targeted on Thursday in the port city. Wassey Jalil, a local MQM leader, was present at Friday's funeral. He said the party "totally condemned" the attack which, he said, was perpetrated by "the so-called extremists in Pakistan." But he insisted that MQM would not waver from taking part in the forthcoming ballot, saying: "We will face all those situations, and MQM will definitely go into the electoral process, and will contest the election definitely." Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan earlier claimed responsibility for Thursday's attack in a telephone call to The Associated Press. He said the attack was part of the Taliban's previously announced strategy to target three political parties. In addition to the MQM, the Taliban has threatened to attack the Awami National Party, a largely Pashtun party based in the northwest and in Karachi, and the Pakistan Peoples Party, which won the last election. The ANP and the MQM were also part of the last government. All three are perceived as being liberal parties that have earned the Taliban's ire by advocating against the militants and extremism. Earlier, the Taliban killed at least two political party representatives and attacked a number of political events, particularly targeting the ANP in the northwest.
