Pakistan: Blast at Shia Mosque Kills 22, Injures Scores
-------------------------------------------------------

In Pakistan, a blast tore through through a Shia mosque today in a
remote part of the country's northwest near the Afghanistan border. The
attack killed at least 22 people and left 60 others wounded. There was
no immediate claim of responsibility, though past attacks by Sunni
extremists have targeted Shia worshipers in the region.
