China Halts Projects in Pakistan After Deadly Suicide Attack

China Halts Projects in Pakistan After Deadly Suicide Attack

Pakistan's all-time ally China has halted its projects in the country following a deadly suicide attack in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. China has launched a probe into the attack that killed five Chinese nationals in northwest Pakistan earlier this week. Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi met a delegation of Chinese investigators at Beijing's embassy in Islamabad after the incident. This was the third major attack on Chinese interests in the South Asian nation in a week. The bombing followed a March 20 attack on the strategic Gwadar port used by China in Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan and a March 25 assault on a naval air base, also in the southwest. Both attacks were claimed by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), the most prominent separatist group in Balochistan.
