8 People were killed by suicide bombers in a Pak church

See what happened in a pak church the police tried to stop those bombers but one bomber was escaped and resulted in the death of 8 people .

At least eight people were killed and 30 wounded when two suicide bombers attacked a church in Pakistan during a service on Sunday, just over a week before Christmas, police said.

Two women were among the dead at a Methodist church in the restive southwestern city of Quetta in Balochistan province, said provincial police chief Moazzam Jah, adding that five of the injured were in serious condition.

Officials said police intercepted and shot one bomber outside but the second attacker managed to reach the church’s main door where he blew himself up.

“Police were quick to react and stop the attackers from entering into the main hall,” Jah told AFP.

Balochistan provincial home minister Sarfraz Bugti said around 250 people normally attend the church on Sundays, but attendance had swelled to around 400 because it was close to Christmas.

“God forbid, if the terrorists had succeeded in their plans more than 400 precious lives would have been at stake,” tweeted the home minister.

TV footage showed shattered pews and broken musical instruments littered across blood-smeared floors.

In 2016 Lahore suffered one of Pakistan’s deadliest attacks during the Easter season a suicide bomb in a park that killed more than 70 people including many children.

The bombing was later claimed by the Jamaat ul Ahrar faction of the Pakistani Taleban.

Police and troops have been battling militants and nationalist insurgencies in mineral-rich Balochistan for over a decade.

Balochistan is the largest of the country’s four provinces but its roughly seven million inhabitants have long argued they do not get a fair share of its vast gas and mineral wealth.
