Train explosion in southern Pakistan wounds two
2005-08-22
A powerful bomb explosion Sunday morning destroyed at least eight cars of a train and wounded two railway guards in Pakistan's violence-stricken Karachi city, said witnesses and officials. The explosion took place in Interior Sindh bound food train on Malir Railway Bridge near Cantonment area, a police official told KUNA speaking at the site. He said the explosion was so powerful that it destroyed at least eights cars of the train and tore apart the rail track. He added that two railway guards, on duty, sustained minor injuries. It was not immediately clear who was behind the explosion but authorities termed it a sabotage act. A triple train collision had last month in the southern Sindh province killed over 50 and wounded about 200 passengers.
