MUMBAI: At least 10 people have been killed and dozens more injured when a bomb ripped through a funeral procession in Pakistan's northwestern region, police and rescue workers said. Red Cross officials in Mumbai told Bikyamasr.com that “we are still assessing the situation from our colleagues on the ground and other rescue workers in the area. It is devastating.” The explosion occurred in Badber on the outskirts of Peshawar, the capital of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, when hundreds of people were gathered for the funeral of the wife of a member of an anti-Taliban militia. Mian Iftikhar Hussain, the information minister of the provincial government, said 10 people had died while 28 were injured. Mujahid Khan, a spokesman for private Edhi Emergency Service, said his workers had moved 11 dead bodies and 35 injured to hospital. It was not initially clear whether the bombing was a suicide attack. Pakistan has seen numerous bomb attacks in recent weeks, as militants continue their campaign against the government and anti-Taliban forces.
