Rockets fired in Kohlu
2005-12-15
Six rockets were fired in Kohlu on Wednesday while President General Pervez Musharraf was touring the eastern Balochistan city. No casualties were reported. Police personnel said that three rockets struck near a paramilitary forces camp in Kohlu, some 350 km east of Quetta, and three rockets fell outside the city. These rockets were fired soon after Gen Musharraf landed in Kohlu. Reports from Kohlu stated that a few rockets were also defused before the explosions.

Two explosions were heard last night in the Quetta cantonment area, while Gen Musharraf was staying there, but there were no casualties. One of those rockets landed near the high-security Gulistan Road and another in the grounds of the Army Golf Club. “No casualty was reported as both rockets fell in open places,” a police official told AFP. A man identifying himself as Meerak Baloch called the Quetta Press Club and claimed responsibility for both incidents on behalf of the Baloch Liberation Army. “We fired the rockets,” a journalist at the press club quoted Baloch as saying. “We Balochis are being treated like slaves. We are at war with the general and we will continue such attacks,” he quoted the caller as saying, Reuters reported.
