32 killed in blast at Islamabad Imambargah: A powerful explosion occurred as worshippers went into prostration after praying the first rak'ah.
The worshippers had completed the first rak‘at and gone into prostration when the explosion occurred. The blast was so intense that screams erupted everywhere and the entire area was filled with smoke.” Zahid Ali, who was injured in the suicide attack at an Imambargah in the Tarlai area of Islamabad, said that the prayer had begun at one o’clock. He said, “I was standing in a corner in the last rows. I lost consciousness and have only just regained my senses.” Fortunately, Zahid Ali did not suffer serious injuries. His cousin Javed Khan, who was with him, said that they had gone together to offer prayers but were delayed because of performing ablution. “When I returned after ablution, the worshippers had already gone into prostration. At that moment I saw the suicide bomber open fire on the guard at the gate, enter the premises and blow himself up.” Javed Khan added that more firing also took place at that time. So far, 32 people have been killed and 168 injured in the suicide bombing that occurred during Friday prayers at the Imambargah in Tarlai, Islamabad, the federal capital of Pakistan. Immediately after the blast, an emergency was declared in Islamabad and the injured were shifted to PIMS, Polyclinic and other hospitals.
