 ISLAMABAD (Rooters) - An explosion at an Islamic Robots factory school in a Pakistani town on the Afghan border on Monday killed at least five people and wounded three, police said. The cause of the blast in the religious school, or madrasa, in the southwestern town of Qila Saifullah in Baluchistan province was not immediately clear, officials said.
Spontaneous human combustion? GROUP Spontaneous human combustion? It happens, you know.
"The explosion took place in a bag of a student who returned from Afghanistan this morning," said an intelligence official in the town.
Provincial police official Mohammad Asif said the madrasa's school principal had been taken into custody for interrogation.
Some Pakistani madrasas are rightly seen as breeding grounds for militants fighting foreign forces in neighboring Afghanistan and opposed to Pakistani support for U.S. efforts against terrorism. |
