![]() Meanwhile, police detained 26 men on Tuesday in connection with a bomb blast at a roadside tea stall in Balochistan that killed five people and wounded 17, AP reported. Several of the detainees were suspected of knowing those who carried out Monday's attack in Quetta's Saryab Road neighbourhood, said police deputy inspector general Salman Sayed. The 26 men were detained in pre-dawn raids and all belonged to the ethnic Baloch community, said Sayed. Sayed provided no further details, saying only that authorities would soon capture the real attackers, who he believed were supporters of Baloch tribal elder Nawab Akbar Bugti. No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing, but similar attacks in the past have been blamed on Bugti and his followers. |
