Blast in Pakistani city Quetta kills five: police
Five people including two policemen were killed and 27 wounded in a blast near a police station in south-western Pakistani city of Quetta on Tuesday, a week after a similar blast that killed two people, police said.
An explosive rigged motorcycle was detonated to target a police van parked outside the police station in the heart of Quetta's busy shopping area, the city police chief said.
In a similar blast last Tuesday, two people were killed and 16 were injured when an explosive-rigged motorcycle went off outside a store in Quetta.
Violence in the Baluchistan province, which borders Afghanistan and Iran, has fueled concern about the security of investments, in particular an energy link planned to run from western China to Pakistan's southern port of Gwadar.
