Attack at Chinese Consulate – level 1

30-11-2018 07:00

In Karachi, Pakistan a separatist group attacks a Chinese government building. It says that China is an ‘oppressor’. It does not want China in Pakistan. The attack kills two officers and two civilians.

There is a video of the attack. We are not sure who the people are in the video. The people could be the attackers. They could also be guards coming to the attack.

Difficult words: separatist group (a group which does not want to be a part of a bigger group), oppressor (a country which makes other countries do what they want them to do), civilian (a person who is not a part of the military or the police).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
