Scores of people were killed Monday in a suicide bombing<span style="color: Red;">*</span>at the main gate of a<span style="color: Red;">*</span>hospital<span style="color: Red;">*</span>in southwestern Pakistan.
At least 63<span style="color: Red;">*</span>people were killed and dozens were<span style="color: Red;">*</span>wounded in the incident<span style="color: Red;">*</span>in the city of<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Quetta in<span style="color: Red;">*</span>the Balochistan province, the Associated Press reported.
The explosion, which was followed by gunfire, struck<span style="color: Red;">*</span>the hospital entrance<span style="color: Red;">*</span>where the body of Bilal Anwar Kasi,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>a prominent lawyer who was<span style="color: Red;">*</span>shot dead by unknown attackers on his way to court earlier Monday was taken, the BBC reported. A number of people have been killed in Quetta in incidents linked to<span style="color: Red;">*</span>separatist insurgents,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>sectarian tensions and crime, the broadcaster said.
It said mourning lawyers and journalists accompanying the body were among those injured in the blast.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Nobody<span style="color: Red;">*</span>immediately claimed responsibility for the explosion.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif<span style="color: Red;">*</span>expressed his “deep grief and anguish over the loss of precious human lives,” the Pakistani<span style="color: Red;">*</span>newspaper Dawn reported.
“No one will be allowed to disturb the peace in the province that has been restored thanks to the countless sacrifices by the security forces, police and the people of Balochistan,” he added.
