ISIS claim responsibility for Pakistan suicide bomb killing at least 70 people

Horrifying footage has emerged of the ISIS-inspired suicide bombing that killed at least 70 people in Pakistan.
The massive explosion is captured on camera as dozens of mourners are milling about outside a hospital in Quetta waiting for the body of prominent lawyer Bilal Kasi to arrive, who was shot dead earlier today.

Victims can be heard wailing in the aftermath of the powerful explosion and the death toll is expected to rise with 70 confirmed fatalities and 112 still receiving treatment for their injuries.
The attack took place shortly after the body of a prominent lawyer, who was shot dead just hours beforehand, was brought to the hospital, said senior police official Zahoor Ahmed Afridi.

A crowd of nearly 100 including many solicitors had gathered at the hospital at about 12.05pm after the lawyer, Bilal Kasi, was gunned down on his way to court earlier in the day.

ISIS have now claimed responsibility for the blast, which struck at the gates of the building housing the emergency ward on the hospital grounds.

Earlier, police had mistakenly said the bomb struck the hospital’s main gate.

Sanaullah Zehri, the chief minister in the Baluchistan province, said it seemed to be a suicide attack, but police were still investigating.
