Two Suicide Bombers Target Mosques in Pakistan http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/34355... Of all the places, the Taliban in Pakistan have starting targeted mosques . The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan has claimed responsibility for the suicide bombings on Friday in Pakistan claiming 12 lives and injuring 105. Both the bombers targeted the Friday Congregations in the mosques for the Jumma prayers. In the first hit in Lahore, the target was Dr Allama Sarfraz Naeemi who was the first Islamic cleric in Pakistan to raise a voice against the Taliban and issue a fatwa (religious decree) that all suicide bombings were Haram (prohibited) since suicide itself is Haram (prohibited) in Islam. After the Jumma prayers, the Allama went to his office situated in the mosque as he was also the head cleric at the mosque. At around 2:30 in the day, a young man entered the Jamia Naeemia and then the office of Allama Sarfaraz. Soon after, a huge explosion took place in the office killing three people and injuring Dr Allama Sarfraz critically. He was rushed to the nearby hospital where he succumbed to his wounds. He was a PhD holder and one of the most respected religious scholars in Pakistan. 4 people were martyred in the attack in the mosque.
