| [DAWN] Two kabooms near an Imambargah ...since Pakistain is very religiously correct™, Shia Moslems can't call their houses of worship 'mosques,' which are reserved for Sunnis. It's not clear if imambargahs are used for explosives storage like mosques are... near Qasba chowk in Orangi town area killed one child and maimed nine persons, according to police sources. Police sources said that a seven-year-old child died in the blasts whereas several others were among the nine maimed. Fear and panic gripped the area after the blasts. Eyewitnesses said that unidentified persons lobbed two crackers near the Imambargah and fled from the scene. Other witnesses said that the second blast was more intensive as compared to the first kaboom indicating that it might have carried out using a planted device. Rescue and emergency teams reached the blast site. Rescue teams shifted the victims to hospitals for treatment. Security personnel cordoned off the area as a probe into the incident went underway. |
