At least two people were killed and more than a dozen injured after a bomb exploded inside a mosque during Friday prayers in Quetta, Pakistan, according to a rescue source quoted by Geo TV. | |
The device was hidden near the Rehmania Mosque’s pulpit, state-run Radio Pakistan said, citing police. | |
The mosque’s administration told reporters that there were around 30 to 40 people inside the building at the time of the incident. | |
The deputy inspector of police said that three of the injured are in critical condition. Women and children are said to be among those hurt in the blast. | |
Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan has condemned the incident and ordered an investigation. No group has yet claimed responsibility. | |
Sectarian violence often targets the Shia Muslim minority in Pakistan, however, this explosion took place in a Sunni majority area in a mosque attended by Sunni followers. | |
Later on Friday, there was an explosion at a mosque in Kabul, Afghanistan. It killed at least two people including a prominent imam. | |
