Blasts in Balochistan kill one, injure 10
2006-05-22
A man was killed and 10 injured in bomb explosions and landmine blasts in the restive Balochistan province on Sunday. A man died and another was injured seriously in a landmine blast in the Pitokh area of Dera Bugti. “Bugti tribesman Wahid Bakhsh Bugti, who was working at fields with some other people in the Pitokh area, six miles from Dera Bugti, died when he walked into a landmine,” said Abdus Samad Lasi, Dera Bugti district coordination officer (DCO). He said that another man, Majeed Bugti, was injured in the blast, adding that the local administration was investigating into the blast. Separately, a bomb explosion outside a shrine in the industrial city of Hub wounded nine people, including three police constables.

A homemade bomb had been attached to a bicycle outside Pir Syed Shah Bokhari’s shrine that is located on Sakran Road. “The bomb exploded when the people were leaving the shrine after offering prayers,” an eyewitness told Daily Times by telephone. “It would be too premature to name anyone for the act,” said Pervaiz Zahoor, Khuzdar Range police deputy inspector general, adding that the police had arrested 10 Balochistan Liberation Army activists in connection with the explosion. He said that a mobile police unit was the target of the explosion. Moreover, gas supplies remained suspended to several areas on Sunday morning following an explosion at the main gas plant in the Suti area. “An explosion occurred at well number 50 of the plant, which resulted in suspension of gas supplies to several areas,” sources said.
