At least 85 people, including Nawabzada Siraj Raisani, were killed while over 70 were injured in a blast in Balochistan’s Mastung district Friday (13 July 2018) afternoon, the Quetta Civil Hospital said.
Levies sources say the blast targeted a corner meeting for the election campaign of Nawabzada Siraj, a Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) candidate from PB-35 (Mastung) against his own brother Nawab Aslam Raisani, who is contesting as an independent candidate.
