At least 11 people, including one police officer, were killed Friday after a car bomb exploded outside the office of Quetta’s Inspector General of Police.
Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif issued a statement condemning the attack, which comes near the end of Ramadan this weekend.
“These cowardly attacks are a sign of growing frustration of terrorists and extremists who have even targeted innocent civilians during the Holy month of Ramadan, ” Nawaz Sharif said.
“Such elements deserve no mercy and will meet their fate soon in view of the unflinching and united resolve of the entire nation against terrorism and extremism.”
