The Ahmadi sect has experienced years of state-sanctioned discrimination and occasional attacks by radical Sunnis. Gunmen with grenades attacked two mosques of a minority sect during Friday prayers in eastern Pakistan, seizing control of one mosque and battling with police, said officials and witnesses. At least 20 people were killed, and worshipers were believed held hostage.
