11 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED IN A BOMBING IN PAKISTAN

At least 11 people have been killed in what police officials suspect to be a suicide bombing targeting a political rally in southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta.

Sajid Tareen, a senior leader of the Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) had also confirmed that the explosion occurred in the car park after the rally was concluded and that several party members were wounded.

Hundreds of workers from the BNP-M from the Balochistan province gathered at Quetta’s Shahwani Stadium to observe the anniversary of the party founder Sardar Ataullah Mengal’s death.

His son Sardar Akhtar Mengal, who was in attendance, is believed to be safe.

Another attack in Balochistan, near the border with Iran, claimed five lives.
