Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A Taliban suicide bomber has blown himself up near a vehicle carrying a senior police official in the port city of Karachi, killing two people.
Nine people were also wounded in the attack in the Malir area of Karachi, an official.
The target of the bombing, Malir police chief Rao Anwar, was unharmed.
A Pakistani Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility saying "we targeted him to take revenge for the torture these officers inflict upon our comrades in custody".
Karachi is Pakistan's largest city and commercial capital and has a long history of ethnic, sectarian and political violence.
