Multiple explosions rock Quetta, Karachi

[Bratva]

QUETTA: The city of Quetta on Tuesday was rocked by four back-to-back explosions, spreading panic and fear among residents.

A suicide bomber in a car killed at least six people, when he blew himself up near a Fronteir Corps (FC) checkpost near the Shia-dominated area of Alamdar Road. The blast killed at least two Frontier Corps (FC) personnel, and injured 40 others, including four children.

Initial reports suggested that the bomber wanted to target the Shia residents in the area, but failing to reach Alamdar Road, he detonated the explosives near an FC check post in the vicinity.

Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Quetta Mir Zubair, while addressing the media, confirmed that four people, including the two FC personnel, were killed and 40 others had sustained injures from the blast.

The Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) reported that around 90 to 100 kgs of explosive materials were used in the blast. “It was a massive blast,” a BDS official said.

A spokesperson for militant group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi claimed responsibility for the blast via telephone from an undisclosed location, though he did not specify who the target was.

Eye witness Mohamamd Idress told The Express Tribune that the suicide bomber was trying to enter Alamdar road from Pir Mohamamd road, where the FC check post was located. “The suicide bomber’s car was stopped by the FC personnel for checking where he blew himself up,” he said.


@Cheetah786... See how FC is protecting Shia by sacrificing their own lifes


And there is no mention in media that how FC soldiers sacrificed their life so bomber could not get through

These are pre planned attacks & they are targeting Pakistan because today Pakistan is at a very delicate stage, thanks to these corrupt & incompetent politicians who have no love for Pakistan.

Blast in MQM gathering was most probably done by MQM themselves because this terrorist party can go up to any extent & right now their aim is to postpone the elections because they want to make their way through only by corrupt means & the corrupt SC is playing the game as well without proper or strong order.

Proves my point, well done to the FC.

May they be blessed in Jannat for their sacrifice. It could have been a massacre.

This is an attempt to delay elections nothing else

Shouldn't there be scanners installed on every entrance and exist of major cities that can detect explosives inside any vehicle. This will give authorities a head start for planning on how to stop the vehicle and this can save lives of our jawans who otherwise are exposed like what happened at the FC check post.

Again the bearded barbarians who live in our country have decided to shove the city of lights into darkness. The terrorists are a huge threat and their sympathizers are worse. Quetta too has constantly been under the grip of terrorism. Not a week seems to pass in the three provincial capitals (Karachi, Quetta and Peshawar) that innocent people aren't killed by the Talibani terrorists and mass murderers.

Pakistan needs to ensure law and order and needs to be pro-active in fighting the militants. These blasts should be stopped before they occur. The terrorists want to go to the world beyond... lets hasten their flight there. We can beat terrorism if we want. Its a matter of willpower.

It launches me into a depression when I learn that Hakimullah Mehsud the head of the TTP is crossing the border freely and innocent people who have never committed an act of terror are being hounded by the police and agencies. The way we are going we may never suceed against terrorism. We need a strategy against the terrorists and we need to target them specifically.

Furthermore Lashkar e jhangvi has bases across the Punjab, they are active in Jhang and Bawahalpur. Why isn't action taken against them. Against a weak innocent person they can clearly take action but while they harass innocents the real terrorists are getting away. Lashkar E Jhangvi must be destroyed.

how many u ill kill in the name of religion ??????????

I don't understand how many more innocents will perish when we realize that terrorism is a major threat. Terrorists have blackened the name of Pakistan. Thousands of innocent, 40,000 in total have lost their lives to the menace of terrorism. Every few days later there is a new blast in Pakistan. No one bothers to stop the blast. They should be stopped.

Hatred and stupidity should both have a limit, unfortunately both appear to be limitless in your post.

And what to do now? How many scanners are actually working is anybody's guess. The worst thing is that this meaningless bastard excuse of some inbred jerks will at max go to jail instead of being blown up piece by piece 40,000 times!!!
