ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The Taliban claimed responsibility for a suicide car bombing on Monday that targeted a senior police investigator in the southern port city of Karachi. At least eight people were killed in the attack, officials said.

The attack targeted Chaudhry Aslam, a senior police superintendent in Karachi. Mr. Aslam and his family were not injured, but six police guards outside his house were killed. A woman and a child were also killed.

Mr. Aslam has been at the forefront of several successful operations against Taliban insurgents and other criminals in Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city, which has a history of sectarian and political violence.

The suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into the main gate of Mr. Aslam’s residence at 7:25 a.m. in the Defense Housing Authority, an upscale neighborhood of the city.

As of now, millions sympathize with them, but they are just violent, murderous totalitarians. Someday, all the world will think of them as we think of the Nazis today.
