Pak separatist group warns China of more deadly attacks
Friday, 29 April 2022
KARACHI, Apr 28 (AFP): A Pakistan separatist group warned Wednesday of more deadly attacks on Chinese targets, a day after a woman suicide bomber killed four people-including three teachers posted from Beijing.
The Baloch Liberation Army-one of several groups fighting for independence in Pakistan's biggest province-claimed responsibility for Tuesday's blast, saying it was the first time a woman had "self sacrificed" for the group.
Chinese nationals and interests have regularly been targeted by separatists in Balochistan, where Beijing is involved in lucrative mining and energy projects.
"Hundreds of highly trained male and female members of the Baloch Liberation Army's Majeed Brigade are ready to carry out deadly attacks in any part of Balochistan and Pakistan," spokesman Jeeyand Baloch said in a statement published in English.
