An explosion at a mosque in Pakistan has killed four people and
left dozens injured. Blast took place as Sunni Muslim worshippers were
saying afternoon prayers in a mosque located in the densely populated
Mohalla Baqar Shah area of Peshawar city in the northwest of the
country.
“The bomb, which was planted inside the mosque, went off killing four people and wounding 28 others,” senior local police official, Imran Shahid, told Agence France Presse. Shahid said that there were up to 40 people inside the building at the time of the blast. The attack came less than a week after a car bomb killed 50 people in a primarily Shiite Muslim neighborhood of Karachi. Pakistan says some 35,000 people have been killed as a result of terrorism since the start of the 2001 US-led invasion of Afghanistan.
