QUETTA: The death toll from a Taliban attack that targeted security forces responsible for the recent capture of al Qaeda operatives in Quetta has risen to 27, police said Thursday.
Two suicide bombers attacked the residence of the deputy chief of the Frontier Corps in Quetta at rush hour on Wednesday, exacting maximum casualties in an area of the city packed with security guards and government buildings.
"The death toll in yesterday's bombing has gone up as three of the injured died overnight, taking the total number of dead to 27," senior police official Hamid Shakil told AFP.
