31 dead in mosque suicide bombing in Pakistan | ABS-CBN News

Описание: Forensics carried out an investigation in a Shi'ite Muslim mosque in Islamabad on Friday (February 6) after a suicide bomber killed at least 31 people and wounded almost 170 others during prayers.
Two police officials said the attacker was stopped at the gate of the mosque before detonating the bomb.

A large blood stain was seen outside the mosque’s entrance.

The attack was the deadliest suicide bombing in Islamabad in more than a decade, according to conflict monitor ACLED.

Shi'ites, who are in the minority in the predominantly Sunni Muslim nation of 241 million, have been targeted in sectarian violence in the past, including by Islamic State and the Sunni Islamist group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.
