 QUETTA, Pakistan - A homemade bomb exploded in a remote town in Pakistanâs southwestern Baluchistan province, shattering windows at a bakery and two other explosions elsewhere in the province damaged two power pylons early Sunday, officials said. No one was reported hurt.

The explosion that damaged the bakery occurred in the main bazaar in Turbat, a town about 650 kilometers southeast of Baluchistanâs capital of Quetta, local police official Abdul Sattar said. The bomb was planted in a drain near the bakery in Turbat, shattering the shopâs shutter and windows, he said.| Who the hell booms a pie shop? Are they running out of targets? Are there no rival holy men? Those Bugtis are a vicious lot! |
Two other explosions damaged two huge electricity pylons, disrupting power to thousands of homes and businesses, said Jibrael Khan, a spokesman for the state-run utility company, Water and Power Development Authority. No one claimed responsibility for either attack, the latest in a series of small-scale bombings that have hit Baluchistan in recent years. Authorities suspect ethnic-Baluch nationalist groups for attacks against government installations in the province.| A Bugti spokesbeard was unavailable for comment: "Pies, all pies." |
