Analysis: M Ilyas Khan, BBC News, Islamabad
At least 45 people have been killed and 13 injured in a gun attack on a bus carrying Ismaili Shia Muslims in the Pakistani city of Karachi, police say. A police official said six gunmen on motorcycles had stopped the bus and fired indiscriminately at passengers.
This is the first such attack on the Ismaili community in Pakistan, and it is shocking even by the standards of Karachi. The sheer numbers of casualties and the manner in which they were killed provide an uneasy contrast with the peaceful image of this Shia sect, which makes up a tiny proportion of Pakistan’s mostly Muslim population.
Ismaili spiritual leader Prince Karim Aga Khan said in a statement the “attack represented a senseless act of violence against a peaceful community.”
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif described the killings as “a deplorable attempt to spread chaos in Pakistan.”
