The first attack took place in the Karimabad neighbourhood during rush hour, creating panic in the area.
“A hand grenade fell inside worship place of Ismaili community, killing a woman and a child and wounding 26 others,” senior local police official, Aamir Farooqi told AFP.
The community follows billionaire Prince Karim Aga Khan, who lives in France, and considers him as spiritual leader.
A local intelligence official also confirmed the attack and casualties.
Another hand grenade targeting Ismailis worshipping in the western district of Metroville injured two people, local police official Asif Ejaz Sheikh said.
Nobody has so far claimed responsibility for the attacks but Karachi, a city of 18 million people, is rife with murder and kidnappings and has been plagued for years by ethnic, sectarian and political violence.

Meanwhile, at least two people were injured in as many hand grenade and home-made bomb attacks in Karachi’s twin city Hyderabad. One of the attacks was reportedly targeted a stall, setup to sell national flags in the wake of Independence Day celebrations for August 14.

Sadly there is no government now in the country. The only law in the country is there because of presence of law-abiding citizens but they are also growing frustrated and are shedding law one item at a time. If governance is not improved then the number of criminals vs law-abiding citizens will become reverse i.e. there will be more criminals then law-abiding citizens.

Apparently this seems to the work of the people who considers others as bidaati, mushrik and kafir!
