Three Killed In Attack – Suspended Phone Coverage

A few days ago, a roadside bomb took the lives of three individuals near a procession held by Shi’ites in Pakistan. The security forces had been appointed there to protect the procession from any terrorist attacks.

The government of Pakistan suspended phone coverage in several cities as a result of that attack. This is because terrorists make use of mobile phones to contact each other to carry out attacks on innocent people.

According to the intelligence report, more attacks could be made on Shi’ites as the month of Muharram reaches its climax. Also, more than 12 people were killed while mourning during Muharram.

The first attack took place on Shi’ites in Dera Ismail Khan, which is a popular city in Pakistan. Sunni militant groups have a strong hold in this city, and they do not consider Shi’ites to be Muslims. It is said that they are making sectarian attacks in order to destabilize Pakistan.

More attacks could be made in the next few days; therefore, the government decided to suspend cell phone service in most cities of the country, such as Karachi, Islamabad and Quetta.

In Karachi, around 5,000 police were appointed to protect mourners on the 10th of Muharram.

On the 10th of Muharram, Shi’ite Muslims mourn the killing of the grandson of the Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and his holy family.
