The lawyers gathered at the Quetta Civil Hospital to express their grief as is common with public figures. Quetta and the rest of Baluchistan province have long been hit by insurgency. Abdul Rehman, the director at the Civil Hospital, said the bombing killed 63 people, mostly lawyers. Gen. Raheel Sharif, the powerful army chief of Pakistan, visited the Quetta Civil Hospital, and met with the wounded. But he said he didn't know he would "see the bodies of dozens of other lawyers" killed and wounded shortly after arriving.
