Gunmen kill two at Pakistan funeral

Gunmen opened fire on mourners returning from a funeral near a Muslim shrine on the outskirts of the Pakistani capital Islamabad today, killing two people and injuring two others.

Police said the violence appeared to be linked to a feud between two families.

The violence came amid tightened security for the Shiite Muslim month of mourning, known as Muharram, when worshippers commemorate the seventh century death of Hussein, grandson of Islam’s prophet, Muhammad.
