Eyewitness and mosque caretaker Syed Ashfaq has been speaking to me over the phone.

“My house is right next to the Imambargah,” Syed says.

“I heard gunfire and ran from my house, thinking there must be trouble.”

“By the time I reached it there had already been an explosion. Bodies were lying everywhere, some were missing arms, some missing legs,” Syed adds.

“We took the most injured in our own vehicle [to hospital],” Syed says.
