Several leaders of the moderate Sunni Tehrik group were among those killed in the blast on April 10 during a religious ceremony in a public park.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but there were fears it could spark sectarian violence between Pakistan's Sunnis and Shi'ites.
Pakistani troops were deployed to the streets of Karachi today in the wake of the bombing.
