37 people killed in bomb blasts at Pakistan shrine |
2010-07-02 |
Two suicide bombers struck a popular Muslim shrine in Pakistan's second largest city, killing 37 people and wounding 180 in the second major attack in Lahore in a month. The bombers attacked late Thursday as thousands of people visited the Data Darbar shrine, where a famous Sufi saint is buried. i.e. not muslim enough Lahore has experienced a growing number of attacks as Taliban fighters along the northwest border with Afghanistan have teamed up with militant groups once supported by the government in the country's heartland. |

#2 the fellow buried at the shrine was a mystic who believed that meditation could result in direct communication with or direct experience of the divine each of which is arguably a heresy in Islam. In addition, many people venerate this mystic which is also arguably a heresy in Islam. and yes, there are many a potential heresy that atracts thet attention of suicide bombers |
