At least 29 people were killed and dozens injured Tuesday when a powerful explosion ripped through a bus carrying Shia pilgrims in Balochistan's militancy-hit Mastung district. Many of them women and children.

On Wednesday, hundreds of Shia protested against the bus bombing by sitting in the road alongside the bodies of the dead in Quetta.
