February 17, 2017 by NHL Werasinghe Leave a Comment

At least 72 people have been killed by a bombing at a shrine in Pakistan in the latest terror attack launched in a week of bloodshed sweeping the country.

More than 250 others were injured when a suicide bomber launched a grenade before blowing himself up at the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan yesterday (16th) evening.
Isis claimed responsibility for the massacre via its Amaq news agency, saying a “martyr of the Islamic State” detonated his vest.
A state of emergency was declared at the region’s hospitals as they dealt with casualties and the army is deploying troops to help relief efforts.
Yesterday’s bombing came after Pakistani counter-terrorism police raided a militant hideout and killed six suspected members of a Taliban faction responsible for a new wave of terror attacks
