According to Karachi police chief, Mushtaq Meher, two men on a motorcycle lobbed the bomb as women and children sat outside the mosque in the Pakistani port city’s densely populated Liaquatabad district.
”One boy is dead and another boy and a woman are in critical condition,” he added.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.
Soon after the blast, the worshipers gathered outside the mosque and chanted slogans to protest about the lack of security provided to them in the Islamic month of Muharram.
