Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) At least 20 people were killed and dozens injured when a bomb claimed by a Sunni Muslim militant group ripped through a fruit market in the Pakistani city of Quetta on Friday. The attack hit the city's Hazarganji district, which is home to a large community from the Hazara Shia Muslim minority, Quetta's Deputy Inspector General of Police, Razzaq Cheema, told CNN. At least seven Hazara were among the dead, along with one security official, Cheema said. Family members of the blast victims comfort each other outside a mortuary in Quetta, Pakistan, after bomb went off at an open-air market in the southwestern city.
