The Quetta Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) has registered a terrorism case over yesterday’s Mastung blast that claimed the lives of eight people, including five children, and injured over 30, it emerged on Saturday.
An improvised explosive device (IED) planted in a motorbike was used to carry out the attack at School-Hospital Chowk in the Majeed Road area, officials said.
The IED was detonated near a girls’ school where students were coming in vans and rickshaws at a time when a police vehicle was passing through the area.
Officials said the target of the remote controlled blast was a police vehicle heading to Mastung district hospital to pick up polio vaccinators to escort them to different neighbourhoods as part of the nationwide immunisation drive being run from Oct 28 to Nov 3.
The eight deceased comprised five schoolchildren, a policeman and two civilians. No one has claimed responsibility for the blast as of yet.
