It was the second such attack within two weeks on a cinema in the city of Peshawar, which has been on the front line of Pakistan’s homegrown Islamist insurgency.
Peshawar city police chief Mohammad Ijaz Ahmed said three grenades were used in the attack and up to 80 people were in the Shama cinema at the time.
Scraps of human flesh, blood-soaked shoes, caps and condoms littered the floor of the hall after the blasts.
Akbar Khan, 62, whose left arm and left thigh were injured, said that he was watching a pornographic movie when a deafening blast rocked the auditorium.
”It seemed like a hot iron rod pierced through my left arm and leg as I was hit by ball bearings,” he said. “I ran towards the gate, from where I was taken to hospital.
