Bomb Blast On Bus Kills 40 In Pakistan

A powerful bomb stuffed in the gas tank of a passenger bus exploded Sunday, killing at least 40 people, mostly Muslims heading home to celebrate Islam’s most sacred holiday.

Police fear the death toll in eastern Pakistan could reach 60 because many of the 26 who were injured are in critical condition and more bodies may be found in the charred shell of the 52-seat bus.

No one has claimed responsibility for the explosion.
