Mosque Bombing In Pakistan Leaves At Least 59 Dead & Over 157 Injured

At least 59 dead and over 157 injured in a deadly blast in a Pakistan Mosque on Monday. 

The bombing was reported to have been caused due to a suicide bombing mission. The Pakistani Taliban take responsibility for the deadly incident through a Twitter post.

Over 300 worshippers were in the mosque with many more approaching, when the roof collapsed, killing dozens. The casualties mostly consisted of policemen.

The tragedy comes not long after at least 40 were killed in a bus crash on Sunday in Pakistan.
