18 Killed in Pakistan Explosion

At least 18 people were killed Sunday and 30 others were wounded when an explosion ripped through a religious procession in the central city of Khanpur in Pakistan. Shiite Muslims were marking the holy day of Chehlum. The explosion occurred as the procession neared an electricity pole where the remote-controlled bomb was planted, officials say. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
