At least 13 people were killed in a suicide bomb detonated near a Shi'ite mosque in Rawalpindi. The explosion occurred during celebrations for the holy month of Muharram. Shi'ite Muslims were gathered for a procession from one mosque to another when two people tried to join the procession. They were stopped by security forces and one of them detonated the explosives. The blast blew a hole in one of the walls of an Imambargah. Worshippers continued their march despite the explosives found at the scene. There has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
