| [Dawn] Three, including two policemen, were injured when a blast occurred in Quetta's Sariab police limits on Friday, DIG Operations Quetta Asif Ejaz Sheikh told DawnNews. Sheikh said a police mobile team signalled a suspicious person to stop in Killi Ibrahimzai. As the policemen tried to search the individual, the blast took place due to the triggering of an explosive device tied to the man's leg. The man and two police constables received injuries as a result of the blast. The injured were rushed to the Bolan Medical Complex Hospital for treatment. Police started an investigation into the incident. |

| #1 Unlike some of the more active islamist regions, such as Mardan, way-out-west Quetta remains relatively quiet, and is the most likely region to hide such islamists as Bin Laden and Mulla Omar. They like to keep it quiet there; not much in the way of blasting the bejuesus out of shoppers or police. Still, islamic factotums that play the network for AQ need to be ready to blast themselves for the sake of security. A 1997 book described the economy of Quetta as primarily forgery of documents and currency. Weapons and drugs probably are are close second. |
