PAKISTAN ATTACKS KILL 35 AS LEADERS MEET FOR SUMMIT

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -  A suicide attack on a Shiite Muslim procession in Pakistan overnight killed 23 people in the deadliest assault in the country for five months as Muslim leaders gathered for a rare summit in Islamabad. 
Police in the garrison city of Rawalpindi near the capital said the bomber blew himself up when he was stopped for a security check as Shiite faithful commemorated the holy month of Muharram, a magnet for sectarian attacks. 
Police used lamps and torches to work through the night, as rescuers ferried casualties to hospital, where critically wounded patients died.
As well as the 23 people killed, police rescue spokesman Deeba Shehnaz told AFP that another 62 people were wounded, including eight children. 
Attacks on Wednesday overall killed 35 people. The Rawalpindi attack was the deadliest bombing in Pakistan since 29 people were killed in the northwestern tribal district of Khyber on June 16.
It was also the worst attack targeting Shiites since February 17 when a suicide bomber on a motorcycle killed 31 people in a largely Shiite area of Parachinar in the northwestern Kurram district.
