Quetta: The proscribed Balochistan Liberation Army has claimed responsibility for the Friday’s blast in Quetta that killed at leat 13 and injured 30 others, said a local newspaper on Saturday.
The paper said that BLA spokesman Meerik Baloch told reporters on phone that it was a suicide attack carried out by Darwaish Baloch who he said was a member of their Majeed Shaheed Brigade.
“We are facing difficulties to know about the nature of the blast because many of the witnesses who were present at the scene have been killed,” a senior police officer was quoted as saying.
Balochistan has been witnessing a low level insurgency waged by nationalist, seeking more provincial autonomy.
