20 shias killed in Bari Imam bombing(by sunni terrorists)

20 killed in Bari Imam bombing

ISLAMABAD: Twenty people were killed and 82 were injured, some critically, when a suicide bomber blew himself up amid the annual Shia Muslims congregation at the Bari Imam Shrine on Friday.

The intense blast made a crater of almost ten metres in radius littered with human limbs, mutilated bodies, pools of blood, the dead and injured, portraying a horrifying scene. Twelve bodies have been identified.

Wonder if Najam Sethi still thinks a fatwa(that says suicide bombgs in Iraq and Palestine are kosher) was good PR.

The ‘fatwa’ against suicide-bombing

Leaning on unofficial fatwas is tantamount to yielding the state’s internal sovereignty. But as PR it is good and should be welcomed.
Update: More of the same

No choice but suicide bombing
