At least 20 people were killed and 48 wounded Friday by a powerful suicide blast apparently targeting the Shia Hazara ethnic minority at a crowded fruit market in Pakistan's Quetta city, officials said.
Body parts littered the scene and injured people screamed for help as black smoke cloaked the market after the explosion. A faction of the Pakistani Taliban claimed the attack, which occurred in the capital of southwestern Balochistan province.The group said it collaborated with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi , which has been behind numerous bloody attacks on Shiite Muslims in Pakistan. There was no immediate confirmation from LeJ.
Balochistan - which borders Afghanistan and Iran - is Pakistan's largest and poorest province, rife with ethnic, sectarian and separatist insurgencies. Balochistan Home Minister Zia Ullah Langu gave the toll and confirmed it was a suicide blast, adding that two of the dead were children.The Hazara, whose Central Asian features make them easily recognisable, are a soft target for Sunni militants, who consider them heretics.
