Suicide bomber has killed at least 23 people in Pakistan
A suicide bomber has killed at least 23 people in an attack on a Shi'ite Muslim procession in Pakistan, the Sky News reports.
Police say they tried to stop and search the attacker as he attempted to join the march in Rawalpindi, near Islamabad, but he ran past them and detonated the explosives.
The bomber was also carrying grenades, some of which exploded.
At least 62 people were wounded in the attack, at midnight, including six police officers.
Earlier on Wednesday two bombs went off within minutes outside a Shi'ite mosque in the southern city of Karachi, killing at least one person and wounding several others.
