8 policemen, one civilian martyred in suicide attack on Balochistan Constabulary van in Bolan
|
[Dawn] Nine individuals, including eight coppers and one civilian, were martyred in a suicide kaboom on a Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
Constabulary van in the Dhadar tehsil of the Kacchi district in Bolan on Monday.
According to Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, the blast occurred at 10am on the Kambri bridge in the area bordering the Sibi and Kachhi districts.
He said the police van was returning to Quetta from Dhadar, where the Balochistan Constabulary personnel — a department of the provincial police force that provides security at important events and in sensitive areas, including jails — was posted for duty at a Sibi cultural festival.
"The van collided with a cycle of violence which was being driven by a jacket wallah. As a result, nine people were martyred, of which one was a civilian," Sanaullah said, adding that 13 people were maimed in the attack.
Three maimed persons, he went on to say, were at death's door. "We fear the corpse count will increase to double digits."
The minister said no organization had so far grabbed credit for the attack.
He stated that the injured people had been immediately flown to Quetta via a helicopter and the federal government was closely coordinating with the Balochistan government with regard to the martyred, their compensation and the medical treatment of the maimed.
Earlier, Kachhi Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mahmood Notezai told Dawn.com that an emergency had been imposed at hospitals across Quetta.
He also said that bomb disposal squads and security personnel had arrived at the blast site and cordoned it off to collect evidence.
The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) grabbed credit for the attack.
