Blast in Karachi Mosque Kills at Least 13 KARACHI (Reuters) - A bomb blast inside a Shi'ite mosque during evening prayers killed at least 13 people on Monday in the southern city of Karachi, where a senior cleric from Pakistan's majority Sunni sect was gunned down a day earlier.
Doctors at three city hospitals told Reuters reporters they had counted 13 dead so far, while an angry crowd milling around in the darkness outside the cordoned-off mosque talked of more bodies inside the shattered building. Doctors said about 30 had been wounded. Fears of a fresh round of inter-Muslim sectarian violence ran high in Karachi after the killing on Sunday of Mufti Nizamuddin Shamzai, a radical Sunni preacher, and thousands of police were deployed at mosques in anticipation of a backlash. The blast at the Ali Raza Imam Bargah mosque was less than a mile away from where Shamzai, a pro-Taliban cleric who called for "jihad," or holy war, against the United States, was killed. A suicide bomber killed 24 people and wounded 125 in an attack on a Shi'ite mosque earlier in May. ------------------------ Yahoo!
