\u00a0Shia Rights Watch has denounced the killing of innocent Shia people in Shikarpur, Pakistan.<\/p>\n
The organization faulted the government and security services for failing to protect Shias adequately or pursuing those responsible with sufficient effort.<\/p>\n
According to SRW’s representatives, 60 people were killed and dozens injured in a bomb attack on a Shia Muslim mosque and religious center in the town of Shikarpur, about 470 kilometers north of Karachi.<\/p>\n
Local security officials said the attack took place when Shia worshipers were performing Friday prayers.<\/p>\n
This is the latest deadly incident in a wave of violence against the Shi\u2019ite community in Pakistan. Jundullah, a Takfiri terrorist group, which has pledged allegiance to ISIL, have claimed responsibility for this and similar terrorist attacks in the country.<\/p>\n
