Militants blow up gas pipeline in Balochistan
[DAWN] Militants on Sunday blew up a 24-inch gas pipeline in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... 's resources-rich Dera Bugti district. Militants had planted improvised bomb (IED) close to gas pipeline in Landola area of the district, Levies sources told Dawn, adding that the explosives went off with a big bang. Gas supply to adjoining villages was disrupted due to damage caused by the powerful blast that rocked the entire area, Levies said. Levies and Frontier Corps personnel were quick at the scene and fire fighters were also called to extinguish roaring flames of fire. However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... it was learnt that the technical staff of the gas company was facing problems in terms of immediate repair of the destroyed portion owing to uncertain law and order situation in the area.
