QUETTA, Pakistan - A judge and 12 others were killed Saturday when a powerful bomb
exploded inside a courtroom in a southwestern Pakistani province that has seen intense
civil conflict for years, police said.
It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack at the District Courts complex
in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province.
"I confirm that that the civil judge Abdul Wahid has died in the bomb explosion," said
Afaq Zahid, an area police chief.
Rauf Khan, the city police chief, said the blast killed 13 people, including Wahid, five
lawyers and relatives of some of the defendants.
