Balochistan bombing by ISIS kills over two dozen

‘More than two dozen people have been killed in a bomb attack in Pakistan’s southwestern province of Balochistan.
The bombing was carried out near a mosque in the town of Mastung shortly after Friday prayers. The town is located 50 kilometers from the provincial capital, Quetta.
Shafi Zehri, a hospital doctor in Mastung, said over 35 people were also injured.
The Takfiri Daesh terrorist group claimed responsibility for the bombing, which was apparently meant to target the convoy of Deputy Chairman of Senate Abdul Ghafoor Haideri as it exited the mosque. Local reports said Haideri had suffered minor injuries in the blast. He was transferred to Quetta for treatment.
Anwar Haq Kakar, a representative of Balochistan’s local government, said Haideri was in a “safe and sound” condition.’
