At least 11 people were killed and other 22 were injured in a suicide attack targeting the restive southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta.

A car bomb exploded at a mosque where prayers marking the festival of Eid al-Fitr were taking place.
"The death toll is 11 now as one of the wounded men died at the hospital”,   Quetta police Chief Ahsan Mehboob said, adding that a bomb disposal team had concluded that it was a suicide car bomb.

"Remains of a badly mutilated body were found in the car. It appears that he was not wearing the explosives on his body but he had planted those in the car and detonated when he could not go beyond the parking lot," Mehboob said further.

Quetta police official Hamid Shakil said two women and a seven-year-old boy were among the dead.
