\nJafria News – 11 January, 2013 <\/p>\n

Sit in with the Shuhuda Bodies in Quetta: A string of bombings left at least 93 people dead and over 150 wounded in one of the bloodiest days of violence that Balochistan has seen for years.Majority of the Martyred Belonged to Shia Community .<\/p>\n

\u201cA suicide bomber detonated the explosives inside a crowded snooker club on Alamdar Road, a Shia-dominated neighbourhood of Quetta,\u201d Home Secretary Akbar Hussain Durrani told Our Correspondent.<\/p>\n

\u201cFifteen minutes later, another explosion went off outside the club as police, media persons and rescuers rushed to the site,\u201d Durrani added.<\/p>\n

A senior police official said 81 people were killed and 121 injured \u2013 some of them critically. \u201cThe fatalities include a television journalist and cameraman, eight police officials and five Edhi volunteers,\u201d Mir Zubair Mehmood, the capital city police officer (CCPO), told a news conference.<\/p>\n

The two media men were identified as Samaa TV reporter Saifur Rehman Baloch and Imran Sheikh.<\/p>\n

Hamid Shakeel, the deputy inspector general of police (Investigation Branch), said the snooker club was situated in the basement of a four-storey building which collapsed with the impact of the blast.<\/p>\n

Moments before the blast, the home secretary said, a man was seen carrying a bag into the crowded snooker club. The man is suspected to be a suicide bomber.<\/p>\n

As soon as media persons, police and rescue officials reached the site, the second blast went off. Television channels counted the two explosions as suicide attacks. But the home secretary later described the second as a time device that was planted in a car. Most of the casualties were caused by the second blast.<\/p>\n

The bombings disrupted power supplies and plunged the Alamdar Road neighbourhood into darkness. The area is dominated by the Shia Hazara community .<\/p>\n

Lashkar-e-Jhangvi claimed responsibility for the blast and said their target was the Hazara community.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the Terrorist group told Quetta-based journalists in a phone call that the first one was a suicide blast and the second was a planted bomb.<\/p>\n

The casualties were driven to the Civil Hospital where a state of emergency was already declared. Dozens of injured are in critical condition, medics said, adding that the death toll could rise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have enough life-saving medicine to treat the injured,\u201d Health Department official Dr Saleem told The Express Tribune.<\/p>\n

After the Alamdar Road blast, there were two more blasts on Prince Road, which is part of the commercial district of Quetta, whipping up fear and panic among residents. …more<\/a><\/p>\n
