 A bomb blast damaged a mosque and a madrassa in Saleem Colony near Usta Mohammed in Balochistan on Monday.

One of the four men was slightly injured in the accident at a residential compound which also shattered windows at a nearby mosque, said Shahbaz Khan, a local police official. Khan said he didn't think the four were linked to the Fatehpur bombing but that the facts would only be known after the investigation is complete. The police arrested three brothers, Abdul Basit, Mohammed Akram and Abdul Hadi, sons of Hazar Khan Mastoi, residents of Usta Mohammed, and members of a banned religious organisation.

Abdul Haleem Jakhro, resident of Jacobabad, also was arrested. Police sources said the arrested men were members of a banned religious organisation and were also allegedly involved in other bomb blasts in Balochistan and Kandhkot. The police said the bomb was locally made. "Initial investigation shows that they were making a bomb and wanted to attack an organisation of their opponents," Khan said. Investigators suspected rebel tribesmen might be involved in the shine bombing, police said. |
