 At least 14 people were injured when a bomb exploded in a busy bazaar on Friday. The blast occurred in the crowded Suraj Ganj bazaar where it had been planted under a motorcycle. The injured were taken to the Civil Hospital. Several shops and parked motorcycles were also damaged in the blast. There is a foreign hand in the incident. It is an act of terror which we strongly condemn, said Mir Maqbool Ahmed Lehri, the Quetta City District nazim. He said some people were trying to create law and order problems in the provincial capital. We will not be cowed by such acts of terror, he added.Meanwhile, tribal militants claimed to have killed seven security personnel in separate clashes in Balochistan on Friday and accused the government of taking 14 civilians including four women and six children into custody in connection with the attacks on the security forces.

Meanwhile, sources in the Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) told Daily Times that police had raided the Bugti House in Quetta and manhandled gatekeepers. Posted by: Fred 2006-07-08 |
