QUETTA: Unidentified persons blew up an 8-inch diameter gas pipeline in the Pirkoh area of Dera Bugti on Monday. According to official sources, an bomb was attached to gas pipeline, which was later detonated. As a result, gas supply from well No15 to purification plant was suspended. A heavy contingent of security forces reached the spot and cordoned off the area. Repair to damaged pipeline was started soon after the incident. A manhunt to arrest the culprits has been launched in the area.
| A foreshadowing of the fun and games to come, should the pipeline from Iran actually be built. |
