QUETTA: Two Sunni Muslim militants who were planning an attack on rival Shias blew themselves to bits with a hand grenade after a gunbattle with Pakistani police on Friday, officials said.
Police said the men, who were members of the banned al-Qaida-linked group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, killed themselves during a raid on their hideout near a Shias mosque in the turbulent southwestern city Quetta.
