Bomb attack kills at least 25 in Pakistan's Balochistan

An explosion has killed at least 25 people in Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan, medical officials told Al Jazeera.


The blast took place in the town of Mastung, about 50km south of Balochistan's provincial capital of Quetta on Friday. It appears to have targeted the convoy of Senate deputy chairman Abdul Ghafoor Haideri.

Haideri survived the attack but Dr Sher Ahmed, the government's district health chief in Mastung, said at least 25 died and another 37 people were wounded.
