Blast targets FC vehicle in Bolan; one killed
2014-05-04
[DAWN] One Frontier Corps (FC) man was killed and another was injured in a bomb kaboom in Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
province's Bolan district on Saturday, a security official said.

Khan Wasey, a front man for the FC, told Dawn that a security forces' vehicle was on routine patrolling when it was attacked in Bolan's Dhadar area in the morning.

"A loud and powerful kaboom was heard in the area. It appeared to be a remote-controlled blast," Wasey said.

He said two FC personnel inside the vehicle were seriously maimed as a result.

Subsequently, one of the two maimed departed this vale of tears on way to a hospital.

The bomb also damaged the security forces' vehicle.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.

However,
ars longa, vita brevis...
Wasey said he suspected that the attack was the work of Baloch separatists operating in the area.

Bolan is considered to be among the sensitive districts of the southwestern province where separatist gunnies have been targeting power pylons, gas pipelines and other vital installations.
