This is humorous news right before the Sabbath...
A pro-palistinkian rally in Pakistan was attacked by a suicide bomber who killed 58 people and injured hundreds. Apparently the Taliban is more concerned with killing its Shiite enemies than it is to make a statement against the Jewish state...
Hahaha!

More than 100 are injured in the assault on a Shiite procession in Quetta, which comes two days after similar attacks on Shiites in Lahore.
Reporting from Islamabad, Pakistan — A suicide bombing Friday targeting a Shiite procession in the southern city of Quetta killed 58 people and injured more than 100 others, police said. The explosion came two days after bomb attacks killed 35 people during a Shiite march in another Pakistani city.
The Shiite procession near Meezan Square, a busy shopping area in the heart of Quetta, was to express solidarity with the Palestinian movement, said Malik Iqbal, inspector-general of the Baluchistan provincial police. After the explosion, onlookers fled as some of the marchers, who had brought rifles to protect the participants, fired into the air, eyewitnesses said.The attack follows a trio of suicide bombing in Lahore on Wednesday that targeted Shiites honoring the anniversary of the death of Imam Ali, one of the sect's most revered figures. The Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for those attacks.
Sunni Muslim militant groups in Pakistan have for years targeted Shiites here, who make up between 10% and 30% of the population. Several of the militant groups have developed a strong alliance with the Pakistani Taliban. Those groups, which include Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Sipah-e-Sahaba, have operated freely, particularly Punjab province, despite being banned by the government.
