PAKISTAN, DEATH TOLL FROM CAR BOMB IN QUETTA RISES TO 15

(AGI) Quetta - The death toll from yesterday's attack in Quetta, capital of Baluchistan province in Pakistan, has risen to 15. Police spokesman, Nazir Ahmad Kurd, reported the discovery of seven more bodies among the rubble left by the explosion of a car bomb. About fifty people were hurt, only ten of whom have as yet been discharged from hospitals. The car packed with explosives, went up in front of the house of the son of Naseer Mengal, former head of the provincial government and ex Federal Minister of Labour. The bombing could have been even worse, as bomb defusal experts had previously managed to defuse a rudimentary 8-kilo bomb planted alongside seven hand grenades.
