Shari Baloch was ‘mentally-ill,’ says the KU suicide bomber’s husband

What happened: The detained husband of the Karachi University suicide bomber claims his wife, Shari Baloch, was “mentally unwell,” according to Balochistan’s Parliamentary Secretary for Information Bushra Rind. Previously: In a suicide attack two days ago at the University of Karachi’s Confucius Institute, at least four people were killed, including three Chinese nationals, and four more were injured. A burqa-clad woman was seen standing outside the Confucius Institute’s door on CCTV footage from the attack. As the van approached the institute’s door, the woman detonated herself. After the attack, the banned Baloch Liberation Army claimed responsibility. Update: During a press conference in Quetta on Apr 28, Rind stated that the husband has been arrested by law authorities and revealed his wife’s mental status during interrogation. According to her, the husband stated that his wife was taking medication for her mental disorder. What you need to know: “External forces,” according to Rind, are attempting to enlist Baloch people in anti-national actions in a “cowardly endeavour” to discredit and demonise the group. “Such hostile conspiracies will not impact the Baloch nation,” she pledged.
