Death toll in Pakistan mosque suicide bombing rises to 15

Islamic State claims its suicide bomber carried out the attack to target an Afghan Taliban seminary. FMTNews

QUETTA: The death toll from a bombing at a mosque in the southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta rose to 15 on Saturday, officials said, in an escalation of militant violence.

Islamic State claimed its suicide bomber carried out the attack to target an Afghan Taliban seminary. But violence in the province has fuelled concerns about the security of projects such as a planned energy link from western China to Pakistan’s southern port of Gwadar. “Two of the wounded people died overnight in the hospital,” said provincial home minister Zia Langove, adding that six people were still in a critical condition.Local officials in Quetta’s police and district administration would not confirm whether the Dar-ul-Aloom Shariah seminary belonged to the Afghan Taliban under a state policy which denies the presence of the group on its soil.
