In Karachi today a suicide bomber attacked a Shia Muslim gathering, killing at least 25 people and injuring 40, in the latest attack on a minority Muslim sect. The bomber blew himself up at the front of the procession of hundreds and thousands of people in the city center. They were marking the holy day of Ashura, a day of mourning for the martyrdom of the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. The attacker managed to get into the procession despite heavy security and the deployment of more than10,000 police and paramilitary troops.
