World 04:57
Karachi, Nov 22: At least 15 people were killed and dozens more injured in four terror attacks across Pakistan, including bombings outside Shia prayer halls in Karachi and Rawalpindi on Wednesday.
Over 15 people, including media representatives, two children and security personnel, were injured in the attacks.
The first blast occurred when a suicide bomber's explosives detonated when his motorcycle collided with an auto-rickshaw a short distance from the main gate of the Imambargah at Orangi Town.
Besides the suicide attacker, the auto-rickshaw driver was killed in the first blast.
About an hour later, an improvised explosive device planted near the same Imambargah was triggered by remote control.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attacks.
The blasts came on the eve of the Developing Eight summit, which brings together Egypt, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey in Islamabad.
