Thousands of mourners in Pakistan have gathered in Islamabad to bury the victims of a suicide bombing at a Shia mosque on the outskirts of the city during Friday prayers, an attack that killed at least 32 worshippers and injured 170 others, officials said.
The victims are being laid to rest on Saturday as authorities intensify a security crackdown. In northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province’s Peshawar city, police arrested two brothers and a woman during a raid on what they described as the alleged suicide bomber’s hideout.
