Quetta hospital bombing: Pakistan lawyers strike in protest
Lawyers across Pakistan are boycotting court to mourn the loss of some 70 people, many of them lawyers, killed in a bomb attack in Quetta.
In Balochistan - Quetta is the provincial capital - markets and schools have been closed.
The bomber targeted crowds who had gathered outside a hospital to mourn prominent lawyer Bilal Kasi who had been murdered earlier on Monday.
Taliban faction Jamaat-ul-Ahrar says it was behind both the attack and murder.
