Islamabad: Deadly Pakistan Suicide Bombing's Victim's Son Reveals Chilling Details

A massive bombing ripped through a Shiite mosque on the outskirts of Pakistan's capital during Friday prayers, killing at least 69 people and wounding at least 169 others, police said. Islamabad police said the blast at the sprawling mosque was an attack and that an investigation was underway. Rescuers and witnesses said some of the wounded were listed as being in critical condition. Television footage and social media images showed police and residents transporting the injured to nearby hospitals. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the explosion, but suspicion is likely to fall on militants such as the Pakistani Taliban or the Islamic State group, which has been blamed for previous attacks on Shiite worshippers, a minority in the country. Militants often target security forces and civilians across Pakistan.
