3 Chinese among 4 killed in suicide blast inside Karachi University

Four people including three Chinese nationals were killed and several others injured in a suicide blast inside the University of Karachi campus. The blast took place near Confucius Institute - a China-funded teaching centre. The CCTV footage showed a woman, who blew up a minivan, killing herself, three Chinese teachers and a Pakistani driver. According to reports, the suicide bomber was a teacher, who had enrolled for a master's degree months before her attack, carried out on behalf of separatist insurgents. A terror group, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) based in the southwestern province of Balochistan, said that the woman had volunteered herself for the attack targeting China, whose investment projects in Balochistan they oppose. "Baloch Liberation Army once again warns China to immediately halt its exploitation projects ... Otherwise our future attacks will be even harsher," the BLA said in an email. The bomber was the mother of two and held a graduate degree in zoology. The Chinese government has strongly condemned the attack and demanded Pakistan to punish the perpetrators and prevent such incidents in the future.
