 Police in Oman say an investigation is ongoing into the incident. Pakistan's foreign ministry condemned it as a terrorist attack and the Pakistani ambassador there visited a hospital where many of the wounded were being treated. The Sultanate of Oman, located on the southeastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, has largely been spared the kind of sectarian violence seen in other countries of the region over the past decade or so. Oman has a foreign policy of non-intervention and is a host for indirect talks among warring parties in Yemen and between the U.S. and Iran.
