Insurgents in an overnight attack threw a grenade at people sitting in front of a hotel in the restive southwest Pakistan and killed at least one person while wounding 10 more, police and hospital officials said Thursday. The attack was the third in as many days in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province, as people celebrated the country’s independence day.
