QUETTA: A bomb blast outside a Punjabi settler's house injured two children and three women in Khuzdar district on Sunday. Unidentified people had planted the bomb near a wall of Dr Tahir Sheikh's house. The blast also damaged two rooms and the boundary wall of the house. Sources said the family had no enmity with anybody in the area. The attack appeared to be part of the ongoing violence against Punjabi settlers in Balochistan, following the killing of tribal chief Nawab Akbar Bugti. "The family was so shocked that they decided not to take the injured women and children to hospital," a local journalist told Daily Times. He quoted the owner of the house as saying that police had failed to provide protection to Punjabis. The family did not allow police to enter the house as well.
