Pakistan's Shia Genocide - Shikarpur blast linked to terror outfit in Quetta: Report

In a major breakthrough in Shikarpur imambargah blast probe, investigators have reported that a banned group involved in terror activities in Quetta is responsible for the tragic incident that claimed 57 lives and injured dozens during Friday prayers last week, Dunya News reported on Monday.
According to investigators, Naeem Bukhari and Usman Kurd group of a banned organization are involved in suicide attack on Karbala-e-Moalla Imambargah in Lakhidar area of Shikarpur district in Sindh, around 470 kilometres (300 miles) north of Karachi.
There is similarity in Shikarpur blast and terror activities in Quetta, officials told.
Fingerprints and DNA samples of the suspected suicide attacker would be sent to Islamabad for tests today.
Earlier Reuters reported that Jundullah, a splinter group of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan which last year pledged support for the Islamic State group based in Syria and Iraq, claimed responsibility of the attack.
The attack came as Pakistan tries to adopt new measures to tackle extremists following a massacre of 134 children last month at an army-run school in the northwestern city of Peshawar.
The government has pledged to crack down on all militant groups, reintroduce the death penalty, set up military courts to speed convictions and widen its military campaign in lawless tribal areas.
