Four killed in Pakistan bomb blasts

Two bomb blasts in Pakistan’s restive south-west Baluchistan province killed four people today, officials said, blaming tribesmen demanding more royalties for resourcesextracted from their region.

One of the bombs, hidden in a plastic shopping bag, detonated outside a security post in Dhadar, a small town about 62 miles south-east of Quetta, Baluchistan’s capital, said Mahmood Marri, a senior government administrator in the area. Two policemen were killed in the blast, he said.
