Karachi Mosque Blast Kills at Least 13, Wounds 80.

KARACHI (Reuters) - A suspected suicide bomber blew up a crowded Shi’ite mosque in the business district of the southern Pakistani city of Karachi on Friday, killing at least 13 people and wounding more than 80, police and officials said.

More than 100 people were packed into the mosque for Friday afternoon prayers when the blast rocked the building in the fourth bomb attack in five days in Pakistan, a frontline state in the U.S.-led war on terror.

The mosque was badly damaged. Pools of blood dotted the floor and spattered the walls and pieces of flesh were scattered on the ground.

Karachi police chief Tariq Jamaeel said at least 13 people were killed and more than 80 wounded. Rohena Hasan, a doctor at the state-run Civil Hospital said more than 20 were in intensive care.
