巴基斯坦官员们说，一个自杀炸手炸弹袭击南部城市卡拉奇进行宗教仪式的什叶派穆斯林，导致30人死亡，数十人受伤。
官员们说，星期一在这个巴基斯坦商业首府，炸弹袭击者在什叶派纪念阿舒拉节进行默哀仪式时走进来并引爆了身上的炸弹。爆炸导致卡拉奇部分地区发生骚乱,愤怒的哀悼者投掷石块并向空中鸣枪。
尽管巴基斯坦各地在什叶派宗教纪念活动期间加强了安全措施，卡拉奇发生的炸弹袭击是许多天以来针对巴基斯坦少数派什叶派的第二次大规模袭击。
星期天，在巴控克什米尔地区的一个什叶派清真寺发生自杀式爆炸袭击，导致至少10人死亡，80多人受伤。
Pakistani officials say a suicide bomber has struck a Shi’ite Muslim religious procession in the southern city of Karachi, killing 30 people and wounding dozens of others.
Officials say the bomber blew himself up Monday while walking in a procession of Shi’ites observing the mourning rituals of Ashura in Pakistan’s commercial capital. The blast triggered riots in parts of Karachi, with angry mourners throwing stones and firing weapons into the air.
Despite increased security across Pakistan for the Shi’ite religious observance, the Karachi bombing is the second major attack on minority Shi’ites in as many days.
A suicide bomber struck a Shi’ite mosque in Pakistani-controlled Kashmir Sunday, killing at least 10 people and wounding more than 80.
