ISLAMABAD, Oct. 7 (Xinhuanet) -- Two bombs exploded at a gathering of Sunni radicals early Thursday in Multan in central Pakistan, killing at least 33 people and injuring dozens of others, said a police officer.

    Hundreds of people on Wednesday night gathered in a residential area in the city to remember a slain leader of the banned Sunni extremist military group Sipah Sahapa, which was formerly named Millat Islamia.

    The meeting lasted until 5 o'clock (0:00 GMT) on Thursday morning when two bombs, one car bomb and one motorcycle bomb, exploded, said District Police Officer Sikandar Hayat.

    It was believed the blast was a reaction to the suicide attack on a Shiite mosque in the eastern city of Sialkot on Oct. 1, which left 31 people dead and dozens of others injured. Enditem
