August 2013 Quetta bombing
2013 terror attack at a funeral in Quetta, Pakistan
On 8 August 2013, a suicide attacker exploded a bomb at a funeral being held for a police officer in Quetta, Pakistan, and killed as many as thirty-seven[1] people and injured over fifty people. No group has taken responsibility for the bombing, but it is believed[by whom?] that the Taliban were behind the bombing. A senior police officer, Fayaz Sumbal, noticed the suicide bomber before he blew himself up. As Fayaz began searching the suicide bomber's body, the bomber blew himself up. The bomber was wearing a jacket that had ball bearings and shrapnel inside.[2]
