Islamabad: Roadside bomb kills 2 soldiers in Pakistan


Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- A roadside bomb killed two soldiers and injured nine others in southwest Pakistan, one of two deadly incidents in the country targeting law and order personnel Sunday.
The attack took place in Dera Bugti, a district in the Balochistan province, when a paramilitary vehicle on a routine patrol struck the bomb, said Murtaza Baig, a spokesman for the paramilitary forces.
Militants in Balochistan, a province rich in natural gas, have been fighting Pakistani military forces for self-rule. For years, they have complained that the government has paid little attention to them and their economic needs.
Dera Bugti is home to four major gas fields and was once the operational base for rebel leader Nawab Akbar Bugti, who was killed in a military raid in 2006.
Paramilitary forces in the area are responsible for guarding natural gas installations that militants have frequently targeted in recent weeks.
Pakistan has said the militants in Balochistan do not have links to the Islamic hardliners who have launched assaults in other parts of the country.
In one such attack, six members of a pro-government militia were killed in a bomb blast in Khyber Agency, one of seven semiautonomous tribal agencies along the Afghan border.
A remotely detonated bomb killed the militia members as they were taking control of an area that had been a militant stronghold, said Khalid Mumtaz Kundi, a senior government official of the district.

Pakistan: Bomb kills 8 anti-Taliban tribesmen

PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- A local government official says a time bomb has killed eight members of an anti-Taliban militia in northwest Pakistan.

Tribal agency official Iqbal Khan says six more members of the militia were wounded in the Sunday incident in the Tirah valley of the Khyber tribal region.

He says the militia was set up to fight against a local radical group known as Lashkar-e-Islam.

Khan says explosives planted at a militia checkpoint were detonated by a timer.

He says the militia later killed two Lashkar-e-Islam members, without providing details.

Pakistan has outlawed the group, which wants enforcement of a Taliban-style version of Islamic law.

Radicals often target the militias, which they perceive as Pakistani government supporters.

lamha ba lamha hoti hen ankhen ashkbar
hota he yeh kyun qaum e Pak ke sath bar bar

gira ju hum pe khudkash hamlon ka anbar
apne hi sabit hore hen apnon ke liye tabkar

nahin chalne de ga Reham in ka ghinaona karubar
he jis ka darbar saat aasaman par

jald aaya ga woh din jub bole ga is dharti ka har akhbar
mit gaya mit gaya Pak dharti se ek ek khudkash bambar

Is this another mass murder of Shites by LeJ or these are the barbaric Taliban (so called students of Islam)?
 
.
What a Bad day, more than 30 dead in Iraq, more than dozen died in Pakistan.. For no reason... may there soul rest in peace
 
. .
is there any centralize program to help financially for family members of person died in this bomb blast?
Or any government compensation scheme ?
Generally blast in day time in market area kills bread winner of family .. and then poverty will kill rest of family ..
If government can't save them, then at least provide some help to family....

BTW RIP to dead..
