AFP, Quetta
A man was killed and two others were wounded by a bomb blast near a paramilitary facility in a remote southwestern Pakistan town Wednesday, police said. The victim died when a remote-controlled device exploded in the town of Mastung, some 45 kilometres southeast of Quetta, the capital of restive Baluchistan province. The bomb was hidden in a vendor's push cart near a paramilitary barracks but it caused no damage to the facility, local police official Rehmat Ullah told AFP. Police arrested one of the two people hurt in the blast, suspecting him of planting the bomb, the official added. Four others have also been taken into custody for questioning.
