![]() Eleven people died in the explosion which took place during Friday prayers at the Mecca Masjid. Police later shot dead five people in clashes with hundreds of Muslims who went on a rampage to protest against the attack. Hundreds of people were returning on Saturday after burying the dead when they started stoning the police, who had escorted them to the burial ground. Police fired eight rounds in the air and also used teargas to disperse the mob. Elsewhere in the city, an uneasy calm prevailed. |
