Marziyeh Afkham on Saturday expressed condolences to the Pakistani government and nation and the bereaved families of the victims of the deadly terrorist attack in Pakistan’s Jacobabad.
She slammed perpetrators of the crime as “enemies of the great Pakistani nation and the Islamic Ummah (society)”, expressing the hope the Islamabad government would take immediate measures to bring to justice the perpetrators of the terrorist attack.
At least 20 people were killed and many others were injured when a bomb targeted a Muharram procession near Shershah Haveli in Jacobabad's Lashari Mohalla on Friday evening.
Targeted killings against Shiite Muslims in Pakistan have drawn international outrage, with rights groups and regional countries expressing concern over the growing violence.
Shiites are seen as a minority group in Pakistan. They make up about a fifth of the country's population of over 180 million.
