According to the Hyderi Market police and Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen (MWM), the attackers riding a motorcycle threw a cracker at the Imambargah Hussainia Sajjadia on Monday evening when people were paying respect to an Alam. The blast left Zain, 17, Mujahid Hussain, 22, and Aziz Rehman, 40, wounded. The three victims were rushed to hospitals, the police said, adding that the condition of Zain was stated to be serious.

The attack was carried out during a majlis being held for women inside the Imambargah, said a spokesperson for the MWM.

Before this incident, a 45-year-old Shia man pulling along Zuljanah with his motorbike was shot dead in a Takfiri attack on the main road in Azizabad late Sunday night, according to the area police.

The Azizabad police said that a passerby, Rahim, was wounded in the attack, while a spokesperson for the MWM said at least two persons were wounded in the Takfiri attack.

Ali Haider, 45, was towing away Zuljanah with his motorbike in Gulshan-i-Shamim when armed pillion riders attacked him, said Azizabad SHO Jamal Leghari.

He said bullets also hit a man passing by the area in a rickshaw, Rahim, who along with Ali Haider were shifted to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.

Doctors declared Ali Haider dead on arrival, the SHO said. He added that no other person was wounded in the attack.

However, the MWM spokesperson said two persons, Kamran and Zulfiqar, were also wounded in the attack. He said Ali Haider was targeted because he was an Azadar (a mourner). The targeted killings of Shia community members reflected the performance of the Sindh government and law enforcement agencies, he said. He also referred to the recent killing of Hasnain in Liaquatabad and demanded action against banned militant outfits.

“The killing of two Shia community members recently and the Monday evening attack on Imambargah demonstrated inefficiency of security institutions,” said the MWM spokesperson. He was of the opinion that there was a rise in number of attacks at a time when local government polls were near.

The sickening mass execution video was posted online by an anti-ISIS activist based in Yemen and quickly started to draw condemnation from social media users shocked by the atrocities.

However the footage is believed to have filmed in late August 2014 and the victims are prisoners of war who were caught by ISIS after the jihadi group overran the Assad held Tabqa airbase in Syria.

Forced to lie side-by-side and with their faces in the dirt, the video shows about 200 Assad soldiers fighting in the Syrian Arab Army stretched out in a long line to the left and right.

Behind them, at least a dozen gunmen armed with assault rifles and handguns stand poised and ready to fire.

One militant then begins firing at point blank range – shooting each prisoner individually as he makes along the row of victims.

Others beside him also open fire, mostly using their machine guns, and the area is filled with dust, obscuring much of the bloodshed.

The video is believed to have been filmed close to Tabqa airbase after the strategic site was overrun by militants.

ISIS continues to control a swathe of territory, including Raqqa, the capital of the terrorists’ self-proclaimed caliphate.   

ISIS is known to have carried out mass executions of prisoners in the past. In one instance, 1,700 Iraqi military cadets were slaughtered in a mass killing that lasted an entire day and night.

Grisly footage of the killings – likely to rank among the group’s worst atrocities – showed executions on an industrial scale near Tikrit in Iraq.

Young men were filmed falling from trucks and pleading for their lives before being lay down in shallow graves and sprayed with bullets.

Others were shot individually and their bodies dumped into the Tigris River, while an excavator was required to shift vast piles of bodies as the executions continued into the night.

In addition to the mass killings, the terrorists have also attempted to invent new ways in which to murder people.

Public beheadings, dismemberment, and throwing people from tall buildings are a common occurrence within ISIS territory.

Other killings are held in areas of significance. After the jihadis overran the ancient city of Palmyra, Syria, in May, they killed dozens inside its ancient Roman amphitheatre.

Deputy Foreign Minister for Consular and Expatriates Affairs Hassan Qashqavi reiterated that Roknabadi has been seen alive after the deadly incident in Saudi Arabia.

The person who saw the Iranian diplomat after the crush has testified on the issue, Qashqavi stressed, adding that there is no doubt in this regard.

He further referred to the possibility of abduction in Roknabadi’s case, saying that such possibility exists and no one can say for sure whether or not he has been kidnapped.

Since Mr. Roknabadi is a prominent figure, Iran cannot be indifferent to the possibility of his abduction, even if it is not that much likely, he added.

Any scenario is possible unless Iran receives Roknabadi’s body, the Iranian official noted, reaffirming that the foreign ministry will continue pursuing the issue until his fate is determined.

Qashqavi’s remarks came a couple of days after Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian underlined the ministry’s continued efforts to follow up on the fate of pilgrims missed in deadly tragedy in Mina.

“We are pursuing the fate of all missing nationals through different channels,” he said Saturday, adding that, to that end, head of Iran’s Red Crescent Society had a meeting with Saudi health minister.

A September 24 crush in Mina, which happened when pilgrims from around the world were performing the Hajj rites, killed about 7500 Hajj pilgrims, including 464 Iranians.

Several Iranian pilgrims, including the country’s former ambassador to Lebanon Roknabadi, are still unaccounted for after the deadly crush.

Saudi authorities have come under fire for their inability to ensure the safety of hundreds of thousands of pilgrims who converge on Mecca every year.
