One killed in Quetta car bomb blast
 [Dawn] A car boom went kaboom!near a women's college Quetta, killing one person and wounding 12 others. Four of the maimed were at death's door. Moreover, four shops were destroyed as a result of the blast. Police officer Hamid Shakil said the bomb appeared to have been detonated Monday by a timing device. The car was parked near a women's college in the capital of Balochistan province. Shakil did not say who was suspected of carrying out the attack nor did he indicate the target. Balochistan has experienced frequent attacks by nationalists who demand a greater share of the province's natural resource wealth but car kabooms are rare. The province, which borders Afghanistan, is also widely believed to be home for many Afghan Talibs, including the group's leader, Mullah Omar. Posted by: Fred 2011-06-21 |
