Hotel bomb kills 1 in Kohlu
 Police said on Saturday that a bomb explosion at a small hotel in Balochistans capital had killed one person, AP reported.Area police chief Ghulam Farid said it had not been immediately clear what sort of bomb had exploded in Kohlu, a remote town about 200 kilometres east of Quetta, and that they were still investigating. Two others were seriously injured in the explosion, APP reported. Police were trying to find out the identity of the dead man and how the bomb was taken into the hotel, Ghulam Farid said. So far we only know that it was a bomb, but we have no other details, Farid said. Balochistan has witnessed scores of bomb and gun attacks in recent year, most blamed on ethnic nationalist groups who have waged an insurgency to press the government to give the province more of the revenues from resources extracted from its territory.
