A brave night watchman single-handedly forced a suicide bomber to detonate himself and saved maybe lives by laying down his own life on the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr in Quetta.
According to SSP Adul Waheed “Quetta escaped devastating terrorism bid as a suicide bomber, who was likely on his way to Hazara Town, detonated his explosive belt after he was challenged by a local watchman near Sardar Bahadur Khan Women’s University,”
The bomber, who was dressed as a woman, was in his early twenties, sources quoted a police official as saying.
Another police official Akbar Durrani told local news channel ‘Samaa Tv’ “We suspect the attacker wanted to target the members of ethnic Hazara Shiite Muslims in a nearby neighbourhood.”
Emergency responders and security forces have made it to the blast site.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks.
