The death toll from a bomb blast in Karachi on Monday has risen to 32.

In addition, 80 people were injured in the attack on a procession of Shia Muslims mourning the martyrdom of Imam Hossein (PBUH).

A terrorist detonated an explosive device at the start of the procession in order to disrupt the mourning, Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on Monday.

"The death toll has risen to 33 and there are more than 60 people who were wounded," said Saghir Ahmed, health minister of the southern Sindh province of which Karachi is capital.
