On Wednesday, a suicide bomber in Quetta, Pakistan, killed three and wounded 28 people. After ending a ceasefire with the government this week, the Pakistani Taliban militant group, or Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claimed the explosion in a text message to Reuters. "A bomb blast that targeted a police patrol wounded more than 30 people, including 15 police," a police official, Abdul Haq, said. "Out of them, a policeman, a woman and a child died." Haq stated that the patrol was escorting a polio vaccination team when the suicide explosion occurred. BKM/ Expat Media
