Three people were killed and 23 others wounded in a suicide attack on a police truck in Pakistan on Wednesday.
The Daily Sabah reports that a senior police official Azhar Mehesar said that the blast targeted a police team preparing to escort polio vaccinators in the city of Quetta and that those killed "include a policeman, a woman and a child".
The attack, which targeted a police team preparing to escort polio vaccinators, was later claimed by the Pakistan Taliban – known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
In a statement to the Agence France-Presse (AFP), the TTP claimed responsibility for the attack and said it would soon share further details.
The group was founded in 2007 by Pakistani terrorists who fought alongside the Taliban in Afghanistan in the 1990s.
In 2014, the TTP terrorists raided a school for children of army personnel and killed nearly 150 people, most of them pupils.
