At least 20 killed in explosion at Pakistan Shi'ite mosque

At least 20 people were killed on Friday when an explosion ripped through a packed Shi'ite mosque in the Pakistani city of Shikarpur and left more than 50 others injured, officials said. Sectarian violence has been on the rise in Pakistan, where radical Sunni Islamist groups often target mosques frequented by Shi'ites, whom they see as infidels. "At least 20 dead bodies and more than 50 wounded people have been brought to the hospital," Shaukat Memon, a doctor at a nearby hospital, told Reuters. "We are trying to ascertain the nature of the blast," said Shikarpur police chief Saqib Ismail Memon. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
