(CNN) -- A suicide bombing inside a Sufi shrine in central Pakistan's Punjab
province on Sunday killed at least 25 people and wounded dozens of others, a
senior government official told CNN.
The official, Iftikhar Tahoo of the Dera Ghazi Khan district, said the bomber
entered the Sakhi Sarkar shrine and detonated his explosives. The shrine is in
the outskirts of the district capital, more than 400 kilometers (249 miles)
south of Peshawar.
Dera Ghazi Khan is no stranger to violent bombings. Dozens were killed in a
December 2009 bombing that ripped through a market near the home of a
provincial official.
Another blast earlier that year struck a crowd of Shia Muslims as they took
part in a procession toward a mosque, killing scores of people.
