Two persons were killed and over a dozen others, including a top politician, injured in two bomb attacks in the restive Balochistan province of southwest Pakistan on Saturday.
Majid Abro, the advisor to the Balochistan Chief Minister, was among four persons injured when a remote-controlled bomb went off on Airport Road in the provincial capital Quetta. Deputy Inspector General of Police Muhammad Jaffar said Abro and his bodyguard were injured but out of danger. “Abro was going to the airport when the bomb was triggered,” he said.
