ISLAMABAD: A suicide bomber attacked a crowded Sufi shrine in southern Pakistan on Thursday, police said, with local television reporting that at least 25 people were killed and dozens more wounded in the latest in a wave of bombings this week.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif immediately condemned what he termed an attack on Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in the town of Sehwan in Sindh province.
A suicide bomber entered the shrine as crowds massed on Thursday, a statement from the Sindh police spokesman said.
Local Dawn TV quoted a medical superintendent identified as Moinuuddin as saying 25 bodies and 25 seriously wounded were brought to a local hospital.
Geo TV quoted an unnamed medical official as saying at least 30 were killed.
