Shi'ite Muslims sit beside the covered bodies of victims who were killed in Tuesday night's bomb attack on a bus, during a protest in the provincial capital of Quetta January 22, 2014. On Tuesday, a bomb targeting a bus killed 24 Shi'ite pilgrims, many of them women and children. Such sectarian attacks are increasingly common in Pakistan, where Shi'ites make up 20 percent of the 180 million people. On Wednesday, hundreds of Shi'ites protested against the bus bombing by sitting in the road alongside the bodies of the dead in Quetta. The sheets draped over the coffins read, "I follow your command (Imam) Hussein (Prophet Mohammad's grandson)".
