Blast near Chinese Consulate in Karachi, no casualties reported

The reader comment on this tabloid news site says it all...

Express Tribune sensationalizing news as usual, the area is not only host to the Chinese consulate, the consulates of Russia and Kuwait are also located there.
And by the way, Clifton is a posh area that has been targeted before, the headline seems to imply as if the Chinese consulate is the only major landmark that exists there.
