Shari had two kids aged eight and five; her husband Habitan Bashir Baloch is a dentist and her father was a lecturer. The woman’s husband has said that the “selfless” act left him speechless but proud, according to a tweet shared by Afghan journalist Bashir Ahmad Gwakh. “Shari Jan, your selfless act has left me speechless but I am also beaming with pride today. Mahroch and Meer Hassan will grow into very proud humans thinking what a great woman there was,” read a tweet posted by Habitan, the snapshot of which was shared by Gwakh.

The BLA said Shari joined the group two years ago and volunteered herself for a “self-sacrificing mission”.

Shari had a Master’s degree in Zoology and MPhil in education.

A probe has been launched into the attack, a Pakistani official said Wednesday. PM Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said he will hold a meeting to devise a plan for the security of foreigners working in Pakistan.
