Three consecutive explosions claimed by a little-known separatist group killed four people including two soldiers in Pakistain's southern province of Sindh on Friday, officials said.
At least a dozen people were also injured.Shadowy secessionist organization the Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army, which wants the province to break from the Pak federation, said it carried out the attacks.
One of the blasts was in Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
, Pakistain's largest city and the capital of Sindh, where a civilian died and eight others including a paramilitary soldier were maimed.
That explosion was outside a center for distribution of government cash handouts, and police believe the target was a vehicle of the Sindh Rangers paramilitary force parked outside.
The second blast was reported in Ghotki district, 500 km north of Karachi, where two Rangers soldiers died along with a passerby, local police chief Furrukh Ali told Rooters.
The third blast took place in Sindh's Larkana district, where no casualties were reported.
The Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army has carried out low-intensity attacks in the past, including blowing up train tracks, but its separatist fight has been less violent than that of neighboring Balochistan
