Bomb targets bus of Shia pilgrims in south-west Pakistan

At least 22 Shia pilgrims have been killed after a bomb struck a bus in Mastung district in Pakistan's restive Balochistan province, officials said.

The pilgrims were returning from a trip to sacred sites in neighbouring Iran when explosives were detonated, causing one of a convoy of buses to catch fire.

More than two dozen people have been injured, some critically, a police officer told AP news agency.

Sunni Muslim militants who often target Shias operate in the region.

An extremist Sunni group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, has previously admitted carrying out similar attacks against Pakistan's Shia minority. [. . .].
