Rocket and mortar fire killed at least two people in Pakistan today as a Shia religious procession dispersed in a town known for sectarian violence.
Thirteen policemen and a civilian were also wounded in the attack in Hangu, in North West Frontier Province.
It was reported the Shias came under fire as this year's Ashura procession dispersed. The procession is the climax of the Islamic holy month of Muharram for followers of the Shia sect.
A curfew has been enforced in the city, an official said.
On the tenth day of Muharram, known as Ashura, Shias beat themselves with sharpened chains during processions to mourn the anniversary of the death of Imam Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Muhammed, during a battle in Kerbala, a city in modern-day Iraq, in 680 A.D.
There has been a spate of sectarian attacks in the days leading up to this year's Ashura - which culminates today.
