Pakistan Shia mosque bombing kills dozens
Friday 30 January 2015 17.38 GMT

A Pakistani group that has affiliated itself to Islamic State (Isis) has killed more than 60 people in a bombing of a Shia mosque, one of the deadliest sectarian atrocities in years.
The explosive device ripped through a Shia imambargah, or prayer hall, in the southern Pakistani city of Shikarpur during the weekly Friday prayers when the building was packed with around 400 worshippers.
Quote:
Fahad Marwat, a spokesman for a militant Sunni group called Jundullah, told Reuters they had targeted the building because the Shias “are our enemies”.
Quote:
Jundullah has been linked to a number of major attacks including the suicide bombing of a church in the city of Peshawar in 2013 that killed around 80 Christians.
Quote:
Many of them share aims and ideas, including a hatred of Pakistan’s Shia minority, whom they consider heretics and worthy of death.
