Five killed, 21 wounded, in Pakistan bomb blast

A powerful bomb killed at least five people today in Pakistan’s Baluchistan province, where a prominent tribal chieftain’s recent death during a military raid has triggered anti-government fury.

The explosion near a bus station also wounded 21 people in Barkhan, a town about 180 miles north of the provincial capital, Quetta, said area Police Chief Hafiz Inayat Ullah.
