22 killed in Pakistan bombing
Police officials have said that the death toll from a suicide bombing in the south-western Pakistani city of Quetta has reached at least 22.
The attack on the rally called to express solidarity with Palestinians occurred as the US said that Pakistan’s devastating floods are likely to delay army offensives against Taliban insurgents.
“At least 22 dead bodies have been moved to different hospitals. More than 40 people have been injured,” a senior police office in Quetta.
Pakistan’s Taliban have claimed responsibility for triple bombings at a Shia Muslim procession in the city of Lahore that killed 33 people.
“It’s revenge for the killings of innocent Sunnis,” a spokesman for Taliban’s suicide bombers said.
“We also have videos of the bombers and we may release them,” the spokesman said.
