Car bomb kills 21 Shiites in northwest Pakistan
A car bomb ripped through a crowded market in a Pakistani tribal region bordering Afghanistan on Monday, killing 21 Shiite Muslims in the latest instance of sectarian violence to rock this country.                    

Pakistan is dominated by Sunni Muslims, but is also home to a sizeable minority of Shiites, a separate sect of Islam. While most Shiites and Sunnis coexist peacefully, Sunni extremists have often targeted Shiites who they do not consider to be true Muslims.              

One government official, Sahibzada Anis, said the afternoon explosion in the town of Parachinar in the Kurram region also wounded 45. 
                
Another government official, Naseer Khan, said all of the dead were Shiite Muslims.
