Hezbollah Slams Shia Killings in Pakistan
Hezbollah resistance movement has strongly condemned recent bomb attacks in Pakistan in which hundreds of people including Shia Muslims were martyred.
On Monday, January 14, Hezbollah resistance movement issued a statement and roundly condemned the massacre of Pakistani Shia Muslims.
The statement read that the attacks are aimed at fomenting division among Muslims calling on Muslims to remain vigilant and preserve their unity in order to be able to confront the American-Israeli plot.
A total of 129 people were killed and 280 wounded in three bomb attacks across Pakistan on Thursday.
Ninety-two people were killed and 200 others wounded in a twin bombing that targeted Shia Muslims in a crowded billiards hall in the western city of Quetta. Earlier in the day, 12 security forces were also killed in a bomb explosion at a security check point in the city.
In another incident, a bomb detonated inside a mosque in the Swat Valley of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, northwest of Islamabad, leaving 25 Sunni Muslims dead and 80 others wounded.
Thousands of Pakistanis have lost their lives in bombings and other militant attacks since 2001, when Pakistan entered an alliance with the US in the so-called war against terrorism.
Since late 2009, there has been a surge in militant attacks in Pakistan. Thousands have been displaced by the wave of violence and militancy sweeping the country.
Hundreds of Shia Muslims were killed across Pakistan last year. The attacks targeted many doctors, engineers, high-ranking government officials, teachers, and politicians.
