Islamist militants wearing suicide vests have stormed a police academy
in Quetta, Pakistan; killing at least 60 people and wounding dozens
more. The attack on the Balochistan Police College began around 11:10 pm
yesterday, when 3 militants from a Pakistani Taliban linked-group, burst
into the expansive academy building housing cadets, targeting the
sleeping quarters that are home to about 700 recruits, gunning them down
and sending some to flee.
The shootout is one of the deadliest extremist
attacks this year, according to reports, as gunfire was still ringing
out from the building several hours after the attackers had stormed it.
