Soldier killed, pipelines blown up
2006-06-28
QUETTA: A Frontier Corps (FC) soldier was killed and another injured in a landmine blast in Dera Bugti district on Tuesday, while two gas pipelines were blown up in the Pir Koh area. FC soldier Imran Shah was killed and his colleague Abdul Aziz injured in the blast in the Sangsila area when they were on a routine patrol. Separately, unidentified militants blew up two gas pipelines in the Pir Koh area, disrupting gas supplies to the Pir Koh gas plant. Sources told Daily Times that the gas pipelines were blown up with explosives early on Tuesday morning. There were also reports that a 220 KV electricity tower was blown up in the Chatar locality of Dera Murad Jamali district. Similar attacks in the past have been blamed on tribal rebels who are waging a sporadic revolt to gain political rights and a greater share of profits from Balochistan's rich natural resources.
