Pakistan arrests seven suspects in connection with a bloody bombing in the southwestern city of Quetta that killed at least 89 Muslims and injured 200 amid rising public anger at the latest massacre in the country.

Officials say Pakistani forces on Tuesday also killed four men during an operation on the outskirts of Quetta where thousands of Muslims are refusing to bury the victims of last Saturday attack to secure better protection for the Shia community in the country.

Akbar Hussain Durrani, the home secretary of Baluchistan province, said that one of the masterminds of carnage was among those arrested on Tuesday.
