Hand-grenade explosion, firing incidents kill one
 (KUNA) -- Four security officials were wounded and a soldier was killed Thursday in Southwestern Pakistani province of Baluchistan in two different incidents of hand-grenade explosion and firing, police said. An unknown person hurled a hand-grenade at the residential quarters for security officers in Kalat area, about 150 kilometers from Quetta, the provincial capital, police sources told KUNA. They said the explosion badly damaged the compound and wounded four security officials. In a separate incident, a paramilitary vehicle came under firing by suspected militants that killed a trooper. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks but police blamed Baluch nationalist militants, waging war since decades for more provincial autonomy. Posted by: Fred 2006-06-16 |
