ISLAMABAD - The latest attack on Chinese nationals in Pakistan is a sign that separatists are seeking to raise the stakes in their insurgency by disrupting a Balochistan economic corridor project with China, say analysts.
On April 26, a 30-year-old woman from Balochistan province blew herself up outside the Confucius Institute at Karachi University, killing three Chinese teachers and their Pakistani driver.
