Police said on Thursday a bomb blast at a bus stand in the town of Dera Murad Jamali had killed three people and injured twelve others. Two people died instantly and one, Ghanwar Bugti, died in the hospital. Police sources said Bugti was believed to have been planting the bomb when it went off. Police said the locally made bomb weighed one kilogramme. The Baloch Republican Army claimed responsibility for the blast in a telephone call to local journalists. There was no way of verifying the claim. Balochistan has been in the grip of a three-year rebellion waged by ethnic Baloch rebels seeking more political rights and a greater share of profits in the regionÂ’s natural resources. Hundreds of people have died in violence in the province since the insurgency flared in late 2004.
