Friday’s blast tore through a mosque in Mastung in the southern province of Balochistan after a bomber detonated his explosives near a police vehicle where people were gathering for a procession to mark the birthday of the Prophet Mohammad
The death toll from a large blast at a mosque in Pakistan rose to 59 on Saturday as the government vowed to find the perpetrators and accused India’s intelligence agency of being involved.
Pakistani officials have long claimed that India sponsors violent groups in Pakistan – claims India has always denied. "RAW is involved in the suicide attack," he added, referring to India's Research & Analysis Wing intelligence agency. He did not provide details or evidence on the alleged involvement.
Wasim Baig, the spokesman for Balochistan's health department, said seven more people had died in hospital since Friday, which had caused the rise in the death toll, adding that more patients remained in critical condition.
