At least five people were injured on Wednesday when a bomb apparently fitted in a motorcycle exploded outside a mosque in Sohrab Goth area of Karachi, police said.
According to reports, a powerful blast, which could be heard from a great distance, triggered an episode of intense firing in Haji Jannat Gul town area located near Sohrab Goth’s Al-Asif Square.
Five people were injured in the explosion and were moved to a nearby private hospital.
A contingent of police and Rangers cordoned off the area and the bomb disposal squad was called to the scene.
The blast came as the city was partially shut down on Wednesday, which had been announced as a day of mourning by the religious Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ), believed to be a reincarnation of the banned militant outfit of Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan, over an attack on one of their central leaders and the killing of four other men.
Violence erupted in different parts of the city Tuesday claiming a total of 16 lives after gunmen opened fire on a car carrying Maulana Aurangzeb Farooqui.
Four other people were reported to have been injured in different incidents of aerial firing and ransacking of public and private properties on Wednesday.
An educated person has the ability to discriminate between people who are frauds and who are genuine. They use this ability in their life to identify the kind of people in their work and life.
