Pakistan - Train attacked, two gas pipelines blown up

QUETTA: A passenger train was attacked and two eight-inch diameter gas pipelines were blown up in two explosions in Jacobabad and Dera Bugti on Wednesday.

Official sources said unidentified people had planted an explosive device on the railway tracks near a bordering area between Jaffarabad and Jacobabad. They detonated the device by a remote control when the Karachi bound Bolan Mail from Quetta passed by the area. The blast damaged 20-feet-long section of the railway track, derailing the engine and four bogies of the train. However, all passengers escaped unhurt in the explosion.

The rail service between Balochistan and other parts of the country was suspended after the blast. “The rail service will be resumed after the completion of repair work,” an official of the Pakistan Railways said, but did not give any specific time as to when the repair work would be completed. Law enforcement agencies have started a manhunt in the area for the culprits.

Separately, unidentified terrorists blew up two gas pipelines in the Loti area of Dera Bugti, the Levies Force said. As a result of the explosion, gas supply to the Sui plant was disrupted. The Baloch Republican Army (BRA) has claimed responsibility for both the attacks.

PARACHINAR, Pakistan — A Pakistani official says a roadside bomb has hit a minibus in a northwestern tribal region, killing two passengers and wounding nine others.

Javed Khan said the attack happened on Ladda road in Pakistan's Kurram tribal region on Saturday.

He said the dead and the injured were transported to a hospital.

Kurram lies near the Afghan border and it has witnessed several military offensives against Islamist militants who are hiding there after escaping last year's offensive in the nearby Orakzai tribal region.

The region has also been the scene of clashes between rival Sunni and Shiite communities.

Americans has created Pakistani Taliban version to destabilize our homeland...u.s is funding and providing talibans arms and weapons. Innocent boys are purchased in $10-$20 and handed over to Talibans to use as human bombs. United states want to destroy Pakistan in such way so that it can claim that Pakistan nukes are at disposal of talibans hence making its own entry to get hold of our atomic weapons n missiles system. United states want to pressurize Pakistan by using Talibans and giving aid to take military action in tribal areas. United states and India is united to make Pakistan destabilize at social, economical level. Hence, It can gain control in South Asia and put its eyes on China.
