(AhlulBayt News Agency) - A bomb blast at a Sufi shrine in Pakistan's Punjab province has killed six people, including two women, and injured several others.
The explosive was planted on a motorcycle parked at the gate of the mausoleum of the 12th century saint Hazrat Baba Farid, located in the eastern city of Pak Pattan, on Monday, soon after the early morning prayers, Amjad Javed Salimi, the district police chief, said.
Fifteen people, including seven women, were also injured in the blast, the German news agency DPA reported.
Salimi added that the bomb was planted in a milk container tied to the motorcycle.
"Two attackers parked the motorbike outside the rear gate of the shrine and fled. Five minutes later, the bomb exploded. It could have been a remote-controlled bombing," Salimi said.
Several shops were also destroyed in the attack.
On July 1, two suicide bombers detonated explosives as thousands of worshippers were gathered for prayers at the mausoleum of 11th-century saint Abul Hassan Ali Hajvery, commonly known as Data Ganj Baksh, in Punjab's provincial capital Lahore. Forty people were killed.
