Pakistan: Car bombing claimed by Balochistan Liberation Army separatists kills 10 people
A huge car bombing in the restive southwestern city of Quetta killed at least 10 people and wounded 23 people on Friday evening, according to police officials.
The Balochistan Liberation Army, a shadowy banned separatist group, claimed responsibility for the attack and said that the blast was carried out by a suicide bomber, according to the local news media.
Police officials disputed the claim and said that about 110 pounds of explosives were planted in a vehicle that was parked outside the home of Shafiq Mengal, the son of a former federal minister and former provincial acting chief minister, Naseer Mengal.
