A suicide bomber killed at least 31 people and wounded nearly 170 during Friday prayers at a Shi’ite mosque in Islamabad, officials said, marking the deadliest attack of its kind in the capital in over a decade. Officials suspect a branch of the Taliban may be behind the attack, though this has not been confirmed. The bombing comes as Uzbek officials visit the country and Pakistani forces conduct training operations in the region, as FRANCE 24’s Hamza Azhar reports.
