10 wounded in Pakistan bomb attacks
Two bombings near a government office in the south-western Pakistani city of Quetta wounded at least 10 people today.
Umar Draz, a local police chief, said the explosions occurred seven minutes apart. The first bomb was planted in a car outside the office of the state broadcasting regulator, and the second went off on a plot of land nearby, he said.
The blasts damaged several vehicles and shattered windows of offices and homes, Draz said. The wounded were taken to a government hospital.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the bombings, and police said they were still investigating.
Quetta is the capital of south-western Balucistan province where tribal militants have been waging a violent campaign to pressure the government for an increase in royalties for resources such as natural gas extracted from the province.
