The 2004 Quetta Ashura massacre was a terrorist attack on 2 March 2004 during an Ashura procession in the southwestern city of Quetta, Pakistan. At least 42 were killed and more than 100 wounded.

People going for wudu to recite prayers heard gunshots and the noha khwuan in the truck shouted that the people who were going for wudu should run for their lives.

In those days Ashura had no security.[1] The attack took place in Liaqat Bazaar. Almost all of the victims were Hazara. The incident occurred just after the Karbala Ashura bombings in Iraq.
