In Pakistan, a suicide bomber blew himself up during evening prayers at a Shiite mosque Monday, killing one worshipper and wounding 20. The bomber slipped into the mosque during a gun battle with police that left another attacker and two officers dead.
A crowd outraged by the attack went on a rampage afterward in the southern city of Karachi, setting fire to cars and shops and killing at least six more people. Police recovered the bodies from a KFC restaurant burned by the mob.
All were restaurant employees, top police official Manzoor Mughal said.
The attack took place at the Madinatul Ilm Imambargah in eastern Karachi, said Asif Ijaz, a Karachi police official. Three attackers stole an automatic weapon from a police guard outside the mosque and shot him to death, Ijaz said.
