| A remote-controlled bomb killed two members of tribal leader Tariq Masoori’s family in Balochistan on Wednesday, security officials said. The bomb hit a car carrying Masoori — PML-QQ’s candidate for PB-24 Dera Bugti —- and family members in the Dera Bugti area. “Two died and four were wounded, including Masoori’s father,” security officials said. Sardar Ali Khan Masoori’s nephews Wahid Buksh and Abdul Fateh were killed, a private TV channel reported. Five were injured while Massuri escaped uninjured, a police official said. District police chief Najmuddin Tareen said he did not know if the attack was politically motivated, and refused to speculate on who might be behind the attack. A banned organisation has, however, accepted responsibility for the attack, Online reported. |
