Another blast in Peshawar

There's been another blast at a Shia mosque in Peshawar, killing upto 10 policemen, including at least one senior official. Though there may be doubts about the motive of yesterday's suicide bombing, this was definitely a sectarian attack.

Today was the 7th of Muharram, a day when the mourning intensifies, reaching the highest point on the 10th (the day of Ashura). There will be a lot of mourners in processions and gatherings during the next few days, making these attractive targets for extremists. I just hope that no such incident happens.
