A bomb exploded in a Shiite Muslim mosque in southwestern Pakistan on the Muslim sabbath Friday, killing up to 10 worshippers, police and witnesses said.

According to one witness, a security guard at the mosque killed one of the would-be attackers and a second attacker blew himself up.
One witness said that a security guard at the mosque killed one of the would-be attackers and a second attacker blew himself up.
Ahmad Ali, who was wounded in the blast, told The Associated Press he saw two suicide bombers enter the mosque.
"One of them was placing something that I guess was the bomb when he was seen by a security guard at the mosque. The guard killed him and the other one blew himself up," Ali said.
Other witnesses said hand grenades were thrown into the mosque.
An estimated 2,000 worshippers had gathered at the mosque for Friday prayers. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Pakistan is a majority Sunni Muslim country and attacks against minority Shiite Muslims have been frequent.
Most of Pakistan's 140 million people, the overwhelming majority of whom are Muslims, get along, but militant groups have sprung up in recent years.
