It's the other way round. Only 10-15% of the population of Pakistan is Shiite. They have recently been the victims of a number of terrorist attacks committed by Sunni nutters e.g. Quetta see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-20984704

I apologise, I meant the other way round. There are roughly 17 million Shia followers in Pakistan who make up roughly 20% of the population.

At the moment it looks like a score draw. The French backed Malian army have recaptured Konna but the rebels have attacked and captured another town called Diabaly. However the French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian insisted France's campaign was "developing favourably".

This is quite helpful as to what is going on - for anyone who is interested -

Turns out the French were lying! Rebels still hold Konna.

So it's more like 2-0 to the rebels at the moment.
