A bomb explosion tore through a Shiite mosque in Pakistan's northwest
region, killing four worshipers and injuring two others, police said.
The Monday evening attack occurred during prayers at Mohallah Roshan
Charagh in Topanwala bazaar in the Dera Ismail Khan region, the
state-run Associated Press of Pakistan reported.
Police told news agency the blast was believed to have been set off by
remote control. However, GEO TV quoted witnesses as saying an
assailant riding a motorcycle hurled a hand grenade into the facility.
The BBC reported the blast destroyed the mosque's front wall and
damaged its dome.
Dera Ismail Khan is about 186 miles from the provincial capital
Peshawar. The region is near the tribal areas where pro-Taliban
militants have been blamed for a spike in violence.
The BBC noted Shiites account for less 20 percent of Pakistan's
predominantly Sunni population. Clashes between the two communities in
the past decade have killed thousands of people.
