A May 21 suicide attack on bus serving an army-run [9] school in Khuzdar district of Pakistan's Balochistan province killed five people, three of them children. Islamabad, which faces accusations it was involved in last month's attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, quickly pointed the finger at neighboring India [10] and Afghanistan [11]. Both New Delhi and Kabul have denied the allegations. Balochistan has been the subject of a decades-long armed struggle for autonomy. Ethnic Baloch communities have accused [12] Pakistani authorities of disenfranchisement, neglect and forced disappearances [13].
