IMU takes credit for Quetta suicide bombing
2013-05-15
The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) has taken credit for a suicide bombing on May 11 in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province in Pakistan.

Pakistani officials say at least six people, mostly police and paramilitary soldiers, were killed and more than 60 others were wounded in the attack.

The IMU e-mailed a statement to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty on May 13. It said attack was carried out by a 52-year-old IMU member of Tatar origin.

The statement said the attack targeted the "infidel" government of Balochistan. It said the bombing was a "response" to a Pakistani government action against a viper's nest religious school last month, which it claimed caused the death of an IMU member and wounded several others.
