More than a hundred people have been killed in a suicide bombing in Pakistan as tensions rise in the country ahead of an election on July 25.
At least 128 people died in the explosion at an election rally in the southwestern province of Baluchistan.
Siraj Raisani, a candidate running for a provincial assembly, was among those killed in the town of Mastung.
It was the deadliest attack in Pakistan in four years.
Hours after the bombing, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was arrested after making a high-profile return to the country.
Sharif was given a 10-year prison sentence in absentia on corruption charges last week, but he accuses Pakistan's powerful security establishment of conspiring against him before the election.
The former PM was taken into custody along with his daughter Maryam in the northern city of Lahore.
They were later taken to Islamabad from where they are expected to launch an appeal and apply for bail.
The whole fight obsession over Trump is becoming...well boring. One side says Trump is a bad terrible evil not nice person who hates everyone but rich white men. The other says Trump is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and his excrement comes out in hermetically seal non odorous packages.
when the truth is Donald Trump is a pretty good Center Right President...that’s good enough.
My 3 Rules of Trump
1. Pay little attention to what he tweets
2. Pay some attention to what he says
3. Pay a lot of attention to what he does.
Anything else is Click Bait nonsense. Designed to make you feel one way or the other.
