Following is summarized from this Reuters news article:
A suicide bomber at a hospital in the city of Quetta, Pakistan killed more than 70 people and wounded over 100, attacking mourners who gathered for a lawyer who had been shot and killed earlier in the day. The victims of the bombing were mostly lawyers and journalists.
“There are many wounded, so the death toll could rise,” said Rehmat Saleh Baloch, the provincial health minister.
Bodies lay strewn across a hospital courtyard shortly after the blast and pools of blood collected as emergency rescuers rushed to identify survivors.
The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack. If true, it would mark a frightening development for Pakistan which until now has only been plagued with locally based Islamist military violence.
The shooting victim, Bilal Anwar Kasi, was killed while on his way to the city’s main court complex, a senior police official Nadeem Shah told Reuters. He was the president of Baluchistan Bar Association.
