CNN) -- Gunmen riding a motorcycle have killed at least five people after opening fire on a bus carrying Shiite Muslim worshippers in the Pakistani city of Karachi, police say.

The bus was carrying the worshippers to midday prayers Friday when the attackers opened fire with a machine gun.

Eight people were wounded in the attack, police told CNN, adding there had been no immediate claim of responsibility.

News of the shooting came shortly after reports of another attack, in the north of the country, when assailants fired a rocket at a train killing the conductor and wounding four others.

That attack Friday morning occurred in the town of Much, about 150 km (92 miles) east of the city of Quetta.

The Karachi shooting is the latest in a series of attacks to shake the southern port city.

Last week 11 people were wounded when a bomb went off aboard a passenger bus in the center of the city.

I'm surprised you didn't accuse Israel of being the shooters.

I only base my beliefs on facts. There is no evidence so far that Israel was involved in this (and no motive I can think of either), so there's no reason to point fingers at Israel. Probably Sunni muslims, or Christians (though unlikely).

Now, if this happened in the OT then the likely suspects would be Jewish terrorists.

Your facts are distorted from reality & hat's been illustrated in this forum in numerous posts.
One incident of the settler's planning a retaliation strike for all the terrorism against their family (and they received more jail time than would-be arab terrorists) & you're making it sound like Jewish terrorism in the "ot" is a daily occurance.

I could argue the same about your facts. Blaming everything on the Palestinians is not a solution to this problem.
And there are plenty more than just "one incident" of Jewish retaliation.

Aside from the recent one & Goldstein shooting up that mosque a few years back, can you reference others?
Guarantee the ratio of arab terrorism would be overwhelming

There was the incident of the Jewish terrorists attempting to blow up a Palestinian school a little while back (luckily they were stopped). More incidents, I can try find articles.
Sure arab terrorism is more, but Israel does not need to persecute a whole people of it. Funny, I've never seen you or others on this board condemn such things shooting missiles in crowded neighbourhoods, or dropping bombs on apt buildings.
