Failed Suicide Bombing Outside Quetta, Bomber the Only Casualty, November 2011
On November 5, 2011, a suicide bomber was killed when his explosives detonated early on the outskirts of Quetta, Pakistan. Quetta police said he was travelling toward Hazara Town, a Shia-populated area, reportedly intending to attack a mosque when the device exploded. Nobody else was injured, and no group claimed responsibility for the failed attack. Residents gathered around the bomber's body. The incident occurred amid an increase in sectarian violence against Quetta's Shia Hazara community that year. In August, an Eid morning bombing killed 13 people, while 26 bus passengers were massacred at Mastung in September. |
