| Six Wounded in Pakistan Car Blast |
| 2002-10-23 |
| A bomb exploded inside a car Wednesday, injuring six people — two of them critically — in Rawalpindi. "The bomb had been placed by unknown terrorists in a car at College Road in Rawalpindi," Israr Ahmad, deputy inspector general police, told reporters at the scene. The blast also damaged several cars, according to police and witnesses. "Police brought six people to our hospital and two out of them are in critical condition," Dr. Naveed Ata said at the District Hospital. It was the second explosion in Pakistan's eastern Punjab province in four days. On Sunday, an explosion killed a 10-year-old girl and injured 16 others at an outdoor market in Kamra, a town near a military base about 45 miles west of Islamabad. No one has claimed responsibility for either blast. Local authorities and the Interior Ministry said they didn't know who was behind the explosions. Ahmad said the explosives used in both blasts were similar. "Oh, dear! There is such unrest in the Republik! And now this fire in the Reichstag! We must vote strong powers to the MMA, so they can deal with it!" |
