QUETTA: At least 16 people were killed and 30 wounded in a bomb blast Friday at a fruit market in Pakistan’s southwestern city of Quetta, officials told AFP.
Mohsin Butt, provincial police chief for Balochistan, gave the death toll and said eight ethnic Shia Hazaras were among the victims, along with one security official and workers from the market.
The Hazara, whose Central Asian features make them easily recognizable, are a soft target for Sunni militants who consider them heretics.
