The Foreign Office of Pakistan confirmed on Tuesday that an attack on a mosque in Oman resulted in the deaths of four Pakistanis and left another 30 injured.
“Pakistan strongly condemns the dastardly terrorist attack on Imam Bargah Ali bin Abu Talib in Wadi Kabir in Muscat, Oman that resulted in multiple casualties including the death of four Pakistanis,” stated the Foreign Office.
The Pakistani embassy is in contact with local authorities to identify and repatriate the bodies of the deceased Pakistanis.
“It has also opened a helpline to respond to queries from the Pakistani community in Oman and to facilitate them. Ambassador Imran Ali is also visiting local hospitals to inquire about the well-being of injured Pakistani nationals,” the statement added.
The Foreign Office expressed relief that the attackers had been killed and noted that Pakistan has offered its assistance to Omani authorities in investigating and bringing those responsible for this heinous crime to justice, especially during the holy month of Muharram.
