@ truth teller : your comments are sickening man , its a sad moment so many people died and all you could come with are these silly remarks
 
.
You know the hindus are going to be happy about this. they celebrate all the bombings and disasters in Pakistan.

What an insensitive display of a sick and intolerant mentality.

There are hundred of millions of Hindu's around the world, millions in Pakistan too. Only a man with your kind of thinking will be happy over these cowardly incident.

Its not about religion, its about mentality (the terrorists have a similar sick ideology), only a twisted mind will paint an enitre community with the same brush.

On TV they are saying that it was a suicide bomber who blew himself at the check point. Here it is the vehicle. Which version is true?

The BBC's Syed Shoaib Hasan in Pakistan says the blast happened despite increased security for the Shia march which took place to mark the end of their holy month known as Muharram.

Senior police official Rana Faisal told state television that the bomber "came close to our checkpoint, threw a bag near a car and blew himself up when policemen tried to stop him".
