Paks whacked in attack
ISLAMABAD - Two paramilitary soldiers were killed Friday in a roadside bombing in south-western Pakistan, officials said. The blast occurred near the town of Dera Bugti, about 300 kilometres south-east of Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province."It was a remote-controlled bomb that destroyed the vehicle of the paramilitary Frontier Corps," a local police official said. "One soldier was also injured in the attack," added the official. No one had accepted responsibility for the attack, but Baloch nationalists seeking autonomy and a greater share of the province's oil and gas wealth have carried out such attacks as part of their three-year guerrilla campaign against security forces.
