Local nationalist militants blew up three state-owned gas pipelines in Southwestern Pakistani province of Baluchistan, suspending gas supply to the provincial capital and badly damaging the pipeline on Saturday, officials said. Militants used time-bombs to blow up the pipelines in Dasht and Loti areas of the province, said Abdul Samad Lasi, a local government officer while talking to newsmen. He said repair work has been started on the pipelines, adding that the gas supply is expected to be restored within 24 hours. A local outlawed militant group, Baluch Liberation Army (BLA), claimed responsibility for the attacks.| I didn't realize there were any pipelines left. |
