ISLAMABAD — A suicide bomber targeted a Shiite mosque on the outskirts of Islamabad during Friday prayers, killing 31 people and wounding at least 169 others, officials said, a rare bombing in Pakistan's capital as its Western-allied government struggles to rein in a surge in militant attacks across the country.
Television footage and social media images showed police and residents transporting the wounded to nearby hospitals. Some of the wounded in the attack on the sprawling mosque of Khadija Al-Kubra were reported to be in critical condition.
Rescuers and witnesses described a harrowing scene, with bodies and wounded lying on the mosque's carpeted floor. Hussain Shah said he was praying in the mosque courtyard when he heard a sudden, loud explosion.

Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif wrote on X that preliminary findings suggest the suicide bomber had been on the move to and from Afghanistan. Asif said the mosque's security guards tried to intercept the suspect, who opened fire at them and then detonated his explosives among the worshippers.

I wonder if anyone said Holy Shiite before he pressed the button?
First you say it, then you do it.
mooselimbs killing mooselimbs when infidels are not available.
Shiite fire.
Sunni day, sweepin’ the clouds away...
That’s in Pakistan in case people wonder.
Heard first hand from a college student assistant that in India the Hindus and Muslims are visceral enemies. She said Muslims pleaded “Just let us have the land for Pakistan and we’ll never bother you again in India.”
Then “Just let us have land for Bangladesh and we’ll never bother you in India again.” Concert For Bangladesh with George Harrison and rock stars raised millions.
Once after a US terrorist incident I told her Americans are angry.
She laughed.
“That’s not angry. In India a few months ago some Muslims stopped a bus and trapped everyone inside and set fire to it, burning them alive. The next few hours Indians looked for any Muslim such as driving by in a car. They pulled them out and beat them, tore off arms or burned them with gas. That is angry.”
Today’s weather in Mecca is always Sunni and Shiitey

I LOVE the name of that city! ISLAMABAD is perfect!
Yes but it sounds like Allahu Akbar!
Kinda early for Ramalamadingdong, so probably Buddists.
A suicide bomber practicing for when goes to a Christian church ?
They need a bigger bomb next time.
The Shia and the Sunnis hate each other.
....and everybody hates the Jews!
Already happened to the family of a guy I worked with except not a suicide, the scum threw grenades.
Professor? Tom Lehrer, 1965.
Funny stuff!
A lie.
Police asked a witness on the phone if it was a Sunni place.
“No”
“Oh, Shiite. There go my weekend plans.”
