Author: Online

KARACHI: World Bank Group has denounced the Sehwan blast attack in Pakistan as President Jim Yong Kim and called it senseless and a disruption to peace.

In a statement issued from Washington the Kim said “On behalf of the World Bank Group, I wish to express our shock and sadness at Thursday’s senseless attacks in Iraq and Pakistan. We condemn violence of all kinds, and we remain committed to building a more just and peaceful world. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and with the Iraqi and Pakistani people.”

It may be noted that over 80 people were killed on Thursday when a bomb ripped through Lal Shabaz Qalandar’s shrine.

The Islamic State group took responsibility for the attack at the shrine in Sehwan. The military and civilian leader’s vowed revenge for the attack, after a bloody week of extremist assaults shook the country’s growing sense of security.
