Pak President Arif Alvi visits Chinese embassy after Karachi University blast

Pakistan was rocked by a suicide bombing that killed four outside Karachi University.&nbsp;Three Chinese tutors and their Pakistani driver died in a targeted suicide bombing at varsity’s Confucius Institute on Tuesday afternoon.

The blast carried out by the Majeed Brigade of separatist Balochistan Liberation Army sent shockwaves as this was the first suicide bombing by a woman from the militant organisation.

Days later, her identity was revealed to be Shari Baloch, a secondary school teacher in her native Kech district.

Who is Shari Baloch?

According to Afghan journalist Bashir Ahmad Gwakh, Shari Baloch was a 30-year-old woman who had a Master's degree in Zoology and pursued MPhil in education while teaching at a school.

Her husband is a dentist, while her father was a registrar at the University of Turbat recently and remained part of the district ombudsman's team for at least three years.

He has also served as Director to the Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA).&nbsp;

She is survived by two kids —eight-year-old Mahrosh and four-year-old Meer Hassan—as per reports.

According to reports, the family is well educated and had no connection with any armed groups.

One brother is a tehsildar -- a grade 16 officer and another brother works at the district court. One of her uncles is a retired professor, an author and a rights activist. Two of her cousins are doctors.

As a student, Shaari had remained a member of the Baloch students' organisation and was aware of the Baloch genocide and occupation of Balochistan.

The involvement of Shari, an educated woman, in the attack has sent alarm bells ringing.&nbsp;

History of Baloch resistance

Balochistan has long sought independence from Pakistan and has been against China’s multi-billion-dollar One Belt One Road (OBOR) project, which seems to have been the reason behind the targeted attacks on the Chinese citizens in Pakistan.

Who is Shari Baloch? The woman suicide bomber who attacked Pakistan’s Karachi University

The woman suicide bomber responsible for an attack that killed four people&nbsp; including three Chinese nationals near Karachi university on Tuesday (April 26) was a teacher who had enrolled for a master's degree at the Pakistani varsity, news agency Reuters reported on Wednesday, quoting an official.&nbsp;

At least four people were killed, including three Chinese nationals, in the attack on a vehicle carrying staff from the Confucious Institute affiliated with the Karachi University.&nbsp;

Responding to the incident, China's Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the attack. The ministry further demanded Pakistan punish the perpetrators.&nbsp;
