Several feared dead in Pakistan blast

A blast at the funeral of a Shiite Muslim cleric has killed at least six people in northwestern Pakistan, say police.

Police officer Saadullah Marwat said Friday’s attack in the city of Dera Ismail Khan also wounded 25.

Mourners were attending the funeral of cleric Allama Nazir Shah Naqvi, who was shot and killed earlier on Friday by gunmen, said Marwat.

However, it is not yet clear if the blast was from a hidden explosive device, a grenade or a suicide bomber.
