Explosion rocks paramilitary base in Pakistan
 A small homemade bomb exploded at a base housing paramilitary troops in a remote southwestern Pakistan town Sunday, police said. No injuries were reported, and no one claimed responsibility. The bomb went off near shops being built for soldiers inside the base in Turbat town, about 650 kilometers (400 miles) southwest of Quetta, the capital of the southwestern province of Baluchistan, said local police official Mohammed Nasim. Though there's been no claim of responsibility, authorities suspect ethnic Baluch nationalist groups for several attacks targeting security forces in the province. The groups, which deny involvement, are accused of backing demands for an increase in royalties from resources extracted in Baluchistan. Posted by: Seafarious 2005-01-03 |
