----------------------------------------



The Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for the killing of a
Saudi diplomat in the city of Karachi. Officials said four people riding
motorcycles opened fire on the Saudi diplomat's car. Last week, the
Pakistani Taliban carried out a twin bombing on a paramilitary force
academy that killed at least 89 people.
