A bomb exploded at an Imambargah in Gilgit, injuring three people on Monday.
| That's a Shiite mosque, of course... |
Police said the injured were taken to the Gilgit District Headquarters hospital. One of the injured had an arm blown off in the blast. The homemade device also damaged the Imambargah building situated in Nagaral town at the Shaheed Millat Road. A local resident, Iqbal Hussain, told Daily Times that the low-intensity device was packed in a pickle jar inside the Imambargah. He said they were set to perform Isha prayers when a namazi smelled a foul odour. He said he threw the jar outside the Imambargah and lost his arm when the device exploded.
[Sniff! Sniff!] "What the hell is that odor?"
"That's Granny's special pickles. They're for the mosque social."
"The smell's makin' the goat sick. I'm throwin' 'em out!"
"Well, don't blame me if it blows your arm off!" |
