ISLAMABAD, Feb 6 (NNN-APP) – Two people were killed and three others injured, when a bomb went off near a rally in Quetta city, Pakistan’s south-west Balochistan province yesterday.
The blast happened when the rally was passing by the office building of the city’s deputy commissioner, spokesman, Liaquat Shahwani, said.
He said that no group has claimed the attack yet, but the attack seemed to be carried out by the proxies of hostile agencies, active in the province, to deteriorate its law and order situation.
Police sources from Quetta said, the political leader who was heading the rally had been receiving threats from militants, adding that, he is safe in the attack, and victims were the people who attended the rally.
Police cordoned off the area after the blast, and started investigations.
It was the second blast in the province yesterday. Earlier, 16 people were injured, when a blast went off near another rally in Sibi district, according to police sources.– NNN-APP
