Aftermath of clashes between shiite and sunni muslims that left at least 10 dead

Описание: (16 Nov 2013) Shiite Muslims, staging a religious procession near Pakistan's capital on Friday, killed seven Sunnis from an Islamic seminary for insulting them as they passed, officials said.
According to a police official, 35 other people were wounded in the clash in the city of Rawalpindi, which is located next to the capital, Islamabad.
Thirteen of the injured had gunshot wounds, according to a hospital official.
The Shiites dragged the Sunnis out of the seminary after hearing them shouting insults and killed them, police said.
Shiites also set fire to dozens of shops in anger.
Police tried to stop the clash, but officers were wounded as both sides threw stones at each other, according to police.
An army unit based in Rawalpindi eventually reached the scene and took control.
On Saturday, the Pakistani government has imposed a rare curfew in the garrison city.
According to an official with the government of Punjab province where Rawalpindi is located, residents were ordered to stay in their homes until further notice.
Soldiers and police were patrolling the streets to impose the curfew.
The killing took place on the day of Ashoura, one of the most important religious occasions for Shiites, which commemorates the 7th century death of the Prophet Mohammed's grandson.
The schism between Sunnis and Shiites dates back to that time.
The holiday has been marred by violence in Pakistan in past years, including bombings targeting Shiite processions.
Radical Sunnis have stepped up attacks against Shiites in Pakistan in recent years, sparking criticism from the minority sect that the government wasn't doing enough to protect them.
Radical Sunnis consider Shiites to be heretics.
