As a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ correspondent in Pakistan, Shaimaa Khalil's grown accustomed to terror alerts and the aftermaths of bomb and gun attacks. But the 8 August bombing of a hospital in Quetta was far outside the national norm - and it specifically targeted lawyers who'd gathered there to mourn the assassination of a colleague. Quetta is the main city of Baluchistan, a restive region in Pakistan's southwest with its own separatist movement - and a recurrent source of concern for the country's central government. It's also afflicted by criminal cartels and several religiously-inspired armed groups. So what is really going on?
