The Daily Times reported:
A suicide bomber blew himself up at a Shia religious gathering in an Imambargah
in Chakwal on Sunday, killing at least 22 people and wounding 60.
The attacker struck at the gates of a Shia mosque where some 1,200 people were
attending a religious gathering, police said.
“Twenty-two precious lives have been lost in this attack,” Punjab police chief
Shaukat Javed told reporters. He said a joint investigation team had been
constituted to probe the attack.
The official said the suicide bomber appeared to be a 15-year-old boy whose
legs and head, with damage to the face, had been found at the blast site.
The Taliban reported on Sunday that they would carry out 2 suicide missions in
Pakistan every week.
They did not mention anything about using children.
