A car bomb blast ripped through a luxury hotel’s parking area in the southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta on Wednesday, killing four people and wounding 11, officials said.
China’s ambassador to Pakistan was staying at the hotel, but was not there when the bomb exploded, said Pakistan’s interior Minister, Sheikh Rashid Ahmad.
An official at a local civil hospital, Waseem Baig, said four people had died, and “several others are in critical condition”.
The Pakistan Taliban claimed the bombing.
Ambassador Nong Rong had earlier in the day met provincial Chief Minister Jam Kamal in the city, according to a tweet from the provincial government spokesman, Liaquat Shahwani.
The hotel is next to the Iranian consulate and the provincial governor’s house. Quetta is the capital of southwestern Balochistan province which has long been the scene of a low-level insurgency by local nationalists.

Pakistan has luxury hotels? Who knew?
Yes, until May 12th.
Expect more “celebrating.”

Since the West is in withering demise, all that will be left to compete is the CCP and radical izlam. If I had to choose one philosophy over the other it would not be the u peaceful religion.
A lot of Pakistanis absolutely hate the Communist Chinese, as the Communist Chinese treat Pakistanis as slave labor in their own country.
See Balochistan and the port project of Gwadar. Chinese owned, run and controlled. Built by Pakistani slave labor overseen by the Chinese.
In this case, I wholeheartedly will cheer on the Islamists.
