A man blew himself up in a failed suicide bombing on Saturday. The bomber's explosives went off as he was heading to a target in Hazara, on the outskirts of Quetta, police said. "It was a failed suicide attack, the bomber was heading to Shia population area in Hazara town," Hamid Shakeel, a senior police officer, told AFP. "A Shia mosque is also located in the area. Apparently Shia were the target but the explosive went off before time."
