Bomb wounds Pakistan schoolchildren
A bomb blast tore through a school bus on Tuesday,
wounding at least five children in the insurgency-hit southwestern
province of Balochistan on the Iranian border, officials said.
The bus was taking more than 30 children of paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) fathers to
a school in Turbat town, near the Iranian border, police and military officials said.
A remote-controlled bomb exploded when the bus neared Ata Shad College, about 550 kilometres
(344 miles) west of the provincial capital Quetta, an FC spokesman told AFP.
“Five children were wounded, three of them are in a serious condition,” he said.
Police said more than a dozen children, aged eight to 12 years, were wounded but most of them
were discharged after receiving first aid at hospital.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Balochistan, which also borders Afghanistan, is gripped by violence blamed on separatist insurgents
and Taliban militants.
Hundreds of people have died since rebels rose up in 2004 demanding political autonomy and a
greater share of profits from the region’s natural oil, gas and mineral resources.
