Separatist group claims suicide bombing in southwest Pakistan, 1 police killed, 5 wounded

QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — A Pakistani official says a suicide bomber struck a southwestern province, killing at least one police and wounding five others in an attempt to target a paramilitary convoy. A top administrative officer says authorities recovered the remains of a female bomber following the explosion in the southwestern city of Turbat on Saturday. A spokesman for the separatist Baluch Liberation Army later claimed responsibility for the attack. Southwestern Baluchistan province has been the scene of a low level insurgency by Baluch separatists under the umbrella group of the Baluchistan Nationalist Army.
