| [An Nahar] Nine people were maimed in a hand grenade attack targeting a Shiite mosque in Pakistain's port city of Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... on Thursday, officials said. The attack took place in Majeed Colony, in the bustling eastern neighborhood of Landhi. "Attackers threw a hand grenade on a Shiite mosque, wounding nine people, two of them seriously," city police chief Shahid Hayat told Agence La Belle France Presse. He said the mosque was the target, adding that the attackers later fled. Local senior police official Nasir Aftab also confirmed the incident, and said those injured in the attack were all Shiites who were attending a religious ceremony. |
