Bomb blast at muslim shrine leaves 20 dead
A suspected suicide bomber struck today at a popular Muslim shrine close to the official residence of Pakistan’s prime minister and the diplomatic enclave in Islamabad, leaving at least 20 mostly Shiite worshippers dead and scores wounded.
President Gen Pervez Musharraf condemned the worst attack in the capital for years and appealed for his countrymen to unite against “religious terrorism, sectarianism and extremism".
