A bomb blast killed six people on Friday at a pro-Palestinian rally in southwest Pakistan and wounded 13, including the leader of a hardline religious party that organized the event, police said.
The region's police chief, Jafar Khan, told Reuters that the motorcycle bomb exploded as people dispersed at the end of the rally near the Afghan border in the province of Balochistan.
Moreover, Khan added that the bombing also wounded Maulana Abdul Qadir Luni, a cleric and leader of the religious party, which has a history of supporting Afghan Taliban militants.
No group has claimed responsibility for the blast.
