American woman goes missing in Karachi

An American woman has disappeared in the Pakistani city of Karachi, a US state department official said on Wednesday.

The woman, who was not named because the state department did not have a waiver under the privacy act, arrived in the city on June 13 and was reported missing in the last couple of days, said the official, who asked not to be named.

State department spokesman Philip Reeker said, "A US citizen was reported missing in Karachi... Our consulate in Karachi is working with local authorities on that matter to see if they can find out any more facts."

Reeker declined to speculate whether foul play was involved.

US reporter Daniel Pearl, who worked for The Wall Street Journal, was abducted in January and killed in Karachi, where two car bombs in the last six weeks have targeted Westerners.

The second bomb killed 12 Pakistanis near the US consulate in the city last Friday.
