    KARACHI, May 31 (Xinhua) -- At least 15 people including a child were killed and dozens of others injured Monday in a bomb blast in a mosque in Pakistani's restive port city of Karachi, according to Rizwan Edhi, a senior official of a relief group named the Edhi Foundation.

    This has been the second blast against Shiites in Karachi in less than one month. 22 people were killed and more than 100 injured in an explosion at a mosque for Shiites early May.

    Witnesses said that an unidentified man planted a bomb in the mosque and it exploded when Shiites worshipers were performing evening prayers.

    The blast created panic in the area and people were seen fleeing form the area.

    The injured were rushed to a nearby hospital. Some of them were stated to be in critical condition.

    No one claimed responsibility for the blast. However, the police suspected that it could have a link to the assassination ofa Sunni Muslim scholar.

    Renowned religious scholar Mufti Zizamuddin Shamzai was killed on Sunday in Karachi, which triggered wild violence across the city. Enditem¡¡
