介绍： Hello, I'm The Islamic State group said it carried out the attack. Anbarasan Ethirajan reports. More than a 1000 people had gathered for an election rally in Mastung town near the city of Quetta when the suicide bomber struck. Among those killed was a well-known provincial assembly candidate. Several people are said to be in critical condition. The bombing was the biggest attack in Pakistan in more than a year. Earlier, a bomb killed four people in the northern town of Bannu striking the campaign convoy of another politician. The latest attacks were unexpected as the Pakistani military had said militants had been cleared from Pakistan's troubled areas.
The former Prime Minister of Pakistan Sharif has been arrested after returning to the country where he faces a ten-year jail term for corruption. He flew into the city of Lahore where hundreds of his supporters say they were detained to stop them protesting.
