A bomb attack on a Shiite mosque on the outskirts of Islamabad during Friday prayers killed 31 people and wounded at least 169, one of the deadliest attacks in the capital in nearly two decades. Officials are investigating whether it was a suicide attack. Residents have criticized the authorities for failing to provide security, while Pakistan continues to face an increase in militant attacks targeting Shiites and an ongoing insurgency in Balochistan.
