Pakistan has strongly condemned the terrorist attack which targeted worshipers in a mosque in the Saudi eastern governorate of al Qatif.

Describing it as a coward and intentionally targeted innocent civilians, Islamabad expressed its condolences to the families of the victims and wished speed recovery for the injured people.

At least 21 people lost their lives and around 100 others sustained injuries on Friday, when an explosion ripped through Imam Ali Mosque in the village of al Qadeeh, located in Saudi Arabia’s Qatif district.
