Over 60 Dead In Islamist Attack On The City Of Quetta

Officials in Pakistan have blamed the militant anti-Shia group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, for a deadly night-time attack on a police training college in the city of Quetta. Two other groups have actually claimed responsibility for the attack, the so-called Islamic State, which has its own branch in Pakistan and Afghanistan; and a Taliban splinter faction. Newshour's Owen Bennett Jones explains.
