Three dead, 20 injured in 2 bomb blasts in Balochistan

Quetta (Pakistan) – Three people including a policeman were killed and 20 others were injured in two separate bomb blasts in Pakistan’s Balochistan province. In the first incident, an explosion occurred in a mosque in Kuchlak area of Quetta district. One policeman was killed and 15 others were injured in the blast. According to the police, prayers were going on in the mosque at the time of the blast. The second blast took place at Umar Farooq Chowk in Khuzdar city. Women and children came here for Eid shopping. In this explosion, 2 people died and 5 people were injured. Both the blasts were carried out using IEDs in motorcycles. Although the Balochistan Liberation Army has claimed three major terrorist attacks in the province in recent weeks, no one has yet claimed responsibility for the blasts.

Editorial Perspective

It would not be surprising if Pakistan, Canada or the US raise the suspicion that Indian intelligence agency ‘R&AW’ is behind this.
