BEIJING, July 20: China on Friday condemned the suicide bomb attack that targeted a convoy of Chinese workers and left at least 30 Pakistanis dead. “China strongly condemns the terror attack and expresses its grief over those killed and offers its condolences to their relatives and to those injured,” the foreign ministry said in a short statement.

In the south-western industrial town of Hub, a suicide car bomber on Thursday blew himself up as a convoy of Chinese citizens and security forces passed by, killing at least 30 Pakistanis but no Chinese nationals.

Police who were guarding the Chinese convoy were among those killed, according to authorities who said the bombing was a suicide attack.—AFP
