Tribesmen blow up gas pipeline
2005-05-08
QUETTA: Suspected renegade tribesmen blew up a gas pipeline and an electricity pylon in a remote town in southwestern Pakistan, leaving hundreds of people without gas and power, police said on Saturday. Anjum Nadeem, a senior tribal police official, said the attacks happened 30 minutes apart late on Friday in Sibbi, about 150 kilometres southeast of Quetta. Hours later, a militant group called the Balochistan Liberation Army claimed responsibility, he said. The official said that tribesmen on Saturday elsewhere in Balochistan fired two rockets at a facility belonging to paramilitary forces, but no one was injured.
