A Pakistani separatist group has claimed responsibility for a bombing that targeted a Chinese convoy outside the country’s largest airport, killing two workers from China and wounding eight people, officials said.

The attack by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) outside the airport in the southern port city of Karachi was the latest deadly assault on Chinese people in Pakistan, and comes a week before the country hosts a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, a security grouping founded by China and Russia to counter Western alliances.
