TTP claims responsibility for Karachi, Rawalpindi blasts
DAWN.COM and Zahir Shah Sherazi | 2 hours ago 0
PESHAWAR: Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan while talking to Dawn.com’s correspondent on Thursday, said that the TTP was responsible for the blasts carried out a day earlier near Imambargahs in Rawalpindi and Karachi.
While giving details of the attacks Ehsan said that the organisation had carried out a suicide blast in Rawalpindi whereas the twin explosions in Karachi were planted bombs adding that it would stage more attacks on Shias over the next few days.

Pakistani Shias receive death threat text messages
Reuters | 1 hour ago 2
ISLAMABAD: Pakistani Shias, targeted in three explosions which killed at least 15 people on Wednesday, are now receiving death threat text messages on cellphones ahead of a key event in their religious calendar that has been tainted by violence in the past.
“Kill, Kill, Shias,” say the text warnings to members of the minority sect.
Hardline militant groups linked to al Qaeda have in recent months stepped up attacks against Pakistan’s Shias, whom they regard as non-Muslims.
Pakistan’s Taliban claimed responsibility for Wednesday’s violence and said it would stage more attacks on Shias over the next few days.
More than 300 Shias have been killed in Pakistan so far this year in sectarian conflict, according to human rights groups.
“Genocide against Shias is already taking place in Pakistan so the text messages don’t really matter that much,” said Jalal Haider, who received a text threat.
About 50,000 people are expected to march through the streets of Islamabad on Saturday and thousands of security personnel are expected to be deployed in a bid to avoid attacks.
Any large-scale sectarian violence could hurt Pakistan’s efforts to show it has improved security as it hosts the leaders of eight developing countries at a summit in Islamabad.
Pakistani intelligence officials say extremist groups, led by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, or LeJ, have escalated their bombings and shootings of Shias to trigger violence that would pave the way for a Sunni theocracy in US-allied Pakistan.
