A bomb blast blew up a railway track here early on Saturday, disrupting train services in Pakistan's insurgency-wracked southwestern province of Baluchistan but causing no injuries, officials said. "A powerful bomb ripped about four feet (more than a meter) long track at a level crossing here," provincial home minister Shoaib Nausherwani told AFP.The minister blamed the attack on "terrorists" who wanted to create unrest in the province by resorting to rocket and bomb attacks. "They are terrorists, they took advantage of Eid holidays and planted bomb on the main track to cause hardships for the people," he said. The three-day Eid al-Adha festivities started in Pakistan on Friday. Railways authorities said the bomb was placed at a level crossing near the city's university area. The device went off at about 6:00 am (0100 GMT), deputy controller of Pakistan Railways, Ghulam Rasool, said. The blast occured only half an hour before a passenger train was to arrive in Quetta from the southern port city of Karachi, he said.
