Three Chinese teachers and their Pakistani driver were killed in a suicide bombing in Pakistan’s largest city a couple of weeks ago. The explosion ripped through their vehicle, injuring at least four others near the university’s Confucius Institute.
Terror outfit Baloch Liberation Army claimed the attack on the vehicle carrying the Chinese staff. It said the suicide bomber was a woman.
Later, it was revealed that the woman suicide bomber was a married science teacher, a mom with two kids and was pursuing a second master’s degree.
