QUETTA, PAKISTAN - A bomb hidden between bags of potatoes at an outdoor Pakistani market killed at least 16 people on Friday , half of them ethnic Hazaras, officials said, in an attack apparently aimed at minority Shi'ite Muslims.
Balochistan is the focus of the US$57 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, a transport and energy link planned to run from western China to Pakistan's southern deepwater port of Gwadar. Hazaras have been frequently targeted by Taleban and Islamic State in Iraq and Syria militants and other Sunni Muslim militant groups in both Pakistan and Afghanistan.Ethnic Baloch separatists are also fighting against what they call the unfair exploitation of their province's gas and other resources.
