Deadly blasts at Quetta’s railway station leaves 24 dead

Описание: Services at Quetta Railway Station in Balochistan remained closed on Monday as security was tightened following a deadly blast over the weekend that killed 26 people and injured more than 40. The attack occurred on Saturday morning, which authorities say was aimed to target the Pakistan army personnel from the Infantry School, with 16 soldiers among the dead. Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province, is grappling with a surge in strikes by separatist ethnic militants that has raised security concerns for projects aiming to develop the province's untapped mineral resources. The Saturday attack was claimed by Balochistan Liberation Army in a statement which it emailed to news agency Reuters. The group seeks independence for Balochistan, a province of about 15 million people that borders Afghanistan to the north and Iran to the west. It is one of the biggest of several ethnic insurgent groups battling the government, saying it unfairly exploits the province's rich gas and mineral resources.
