Pakistan mosque bombing kills 4, including children aged 7 and 10

 A 1.5 kg improvised-explosive device (IED) explosion near a Sunni mosque during Friday prayers, which usually attract the largest crowd, in Pushta Khara neighborhood of Pesahwar, Pakistan, has killed at least four, including a seven-year-old boy and 10-year-old child, while injuring 22 others. Police official Ejaz Ahmad said the bombing may have been a response to recent crackdown on militants in the area.
