Bomb attack targets mosque in Karachi

At least one child was killed and dozens of people were wounded in a drive-by bomb attack at a mosque in Karachi, police said.Police said two men on a motorcycle lobbed the bomb as women and children sat outside the mosque in the Pakistani port city’s densely populated Liaquatabad district.“One boy has expired and another boy and a woman are in critical condition,” Karachi police chief Mushtaq Meher said.No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.Soon after the blast, Shia men and woman gathered outside the mosque and chanted slogans to protest about the lack of security provided to them in the month of Muharram.The government pledged to crack down on all militant groups following the December 2014 massacre of 134 children at an army-run school in the northwestern city of Peshawar. It has reintroduced the death penalty.
