| [Pak Daily Times] Three faceless myrmidons on Saturday opened fire at worshippers inside a mosque in Bahawalpur killing two people and injuring seven others, police said. "Three men armed with pistols entered Al Qamar mosque and fired at worshippers and as a result of the firing two men died while seven others were maimed," Bahawalpur district police chief Babar Bakht said. "Two of the maimed were in critical condition," he added. After the attack, people gathered in the streets to protest the incident and blocked roads. They shouted slogans against the district administration for its failure to maintain law and order. Regional Police Officer Ahmad Raza Qadri and rescue teams reached the spot and dispersed the crowd, after ensuring them to arrest the perpetrators behind the attack at earliest. Police officials said the incident was not a terrorist act but the real picture would emerge after investigation. |
