60+ Killed in Pakistan Hospital Bombing

More than 60 people were killed and at least 50 others wounded in Quetta, Pakistan, early Monday when suicide bombers targeted a hospital emergency room where lawyers—clad in black suits and ties—had gathered to mourn a slain colleague. Mohammed Omar Baloch, health secretary of Balochistan, said the death toll could reach 75 or more from the explosion. The AP reports that a breakaway faction of the Pakistani Taliban, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, claimed responsibility later Monday for the bombing. ISIS militants reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack.
