Local Editor

A bomb explosion on a busy road in Pakistan’s southwestern Baluchistan province on Saturday killed three people, including a paramilitary soldier, and wounded at least 16 other people, security officials said.

The bomb, planted in a car parked by the side of the road on a crowded crossroads in Quetta city, apparently targeted a paramilitary vehicle passing the area.
"The bomb was detonated by remote control when a vehicle of the Frontier Corps came close to a busy crossroads," Quetta police chief Abdul Razzak Cheema said.

Cheema said two of the dead and most of the wounded were laborers who were waiting in the area.
