Bomb attacks plunge Balochistan into darkness |
2005-02-02 |
Bomb explosions cut electricity to Balochistan, plunging the entire province into darkness late on Tuesday, BBC Urdu Service reported. The report said that high-tension power supply line was blown up by sudden bomb attacks in Sibbi at about 9:15 pm. "The electricity tower was blown up in Sibi and power supply to two-thirds of the province has been cut off," a Balochistan government official said. "This was the last power supply line after two power transmission lines were blown up earlier this month and now we have no means to supply power. The repair will take some time," a Water and Power Development Authority official told AFP. |

#3 India built a fence on the border with Kashmir. And the Afghan army seems to be holding the line on the other side... Would you like some popcorn, Spot? I just made some! |

#2 Seems to be a lot of action in Pakwackyland these days. I love it when they soil their own nest. Too bad we can't build a fence around the place and just let them blast away at each other. |
