Mr Rind escaped unhurt in the blast, which according to officials was carried out using a remote-controlled improvised explosive device. No one has immediately grabbed credit for the attack. Dhadar Assistant Commissioner Fahad Shah Rashdi confirmed that the convoy was targeted in the Sunni Shoran area. "Two bodyguards were killed and one was injured in the IED blast while Sardar Khan Rind was unharmed in the blast," he said, adding that the dead and the injured were moved to District Headquarters Hospital Dhadar. Sardar Khan Rind is the son of the Rind tribe chief and PTI politician from Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran.

He is safe, although others in convoy have been martyred and injured," he said, according to Dawn.com.

When he reached near the Noshman area, a powerful blast took place at the convoy, killing two security guards on the spot and injuring one other.
