Explosives packed into a car exploded on Monday killing one passenger and seriously injuring two others near Hyderabad, police said. The explosion occurred on a highway near Hyderabad, said Allah Dino Khawaja, a local police official. Gul Muhammad, who died in the explosion, was carrying the explosives from Hyderabad to Thatta to sell to coalminers in the area, Khawaja said. The injured men suffered serious burns in the explosion and were being treated at a hospital in Hyderabad, Khawaja said. It was not known what caused the dynamite to explode and Khawaja said police were investigating.

"Yeah, and to make sure the blasting caps don't shift around I put the cases of dynamite on top of them....."
