At least 22 people were killed and dozens of others were injured in a suspected suicide blast at a Shia procession in southern Pakistan’s Sindh province Friday evening, the police said.
The Muslims were commemmorating the martyrdom of grandson of Prophet Muhammad, Imam Husayn, who was killed with his family and companions by Caliph Yazid’s army, in Karbala, Iraq. This follows a similar tragic incident in the Bolan district of Balochistan a day earlier, Muslim News website reported on Saturday.
According to the Pakistani police, around 300 people, including women and children were participating in the procession in Lashari Muhalla in the southern district of Jacobabad, when a suspected suicide bomber blew himself up.
Television footage from the area showed human remains and blood-soaked clothes strewn across the road and sidewalks.
Khuda Bux, a city police chief, said that preliminary reports suggest that children were among the dead.
