The death toll in yesterday’s suicide bombing of a Shi’ite mosque in Quetta, Pakistan, has risen to 47. Seething Shi’ites went on a rampage afterward, hacking a Sunni teacher to death.

QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) - Thousands of angry mourners packed a Shi’ite Muslim cemetery in the Pakistani city of Quetta on Saturday as last rites were held for many of the 47 people killed in a suicide attack on a mosque.

A curfew imposed by police and soldiers shortly after Friday’s attack by three suicide bombers was eased during the day, but was reimposed by nightfall as tensions between Shi’ites and majority Sunni Muslims remained high.

At least one person, a teacher at a Sunni Muslim seminary, was killed late on Friday by crowds enraged by the mosque attack, officials said.

Interior ministry investigators were in Quetta, and ministry spokesman Iftikhar Ahmed said police had detained a handful of people in connection with the assault on the mosque.

He declined to give any further details, but security sources told Reuters that the Sunni Muslim Lashkar-e-Jhangvi group, blamed for sectarian violence and linked to the murder of U.S. reporter Daniel Pearl, was among the prime suspects.

Local officials said angry protesters seeking revenge for the attack had raided a Sunni Muslim seminary in Quetta and killed a teacher late on Friday.

“The army had evacuated all teachers and pupils from the seminary but the protesters got hold of a teacher and hacked him to death,” an official from the provincial home department said.
