Pakistan bombings: 42 killed at Pakistan's Sakhi Sarwar shrine - latimes.com: "Two suicide bombers killed at least 42 people at a shrine in central Pakistan on Sunday, the latest in a series of attacks on places of worship linked to sects opposed by militants.
The attack occurred at Sakhi Sarwar, a Sufi shrine in a village outside the southern Punjab city of Dera Ghazi Khan. In the past, Sufi shrines have been targeted by the Pakistani Taliban and other militant groups that regard the strain of Islam to be tantamount to heresy.
More than 1,000 people had gathered at the shrine when the bombers detonated suicide vests filled with explosives. One bomber's vest did not completely explode, and television footage showed the man writhing on the ground while rescue workers removed the vest and treated him."
