Islamabad(Xinhua) : Three soldiers and four civilians were killed Thursday in two suicide bomb attacks on a security check post in southwestern Pakistan, the army said.
Two bombers were also killed in the attacks in the military area in Quetta, the capital of the southwestern province of Balochistan, military spokesman Major General Waheed Arshad said.
He said a bomber blew himself up at the checkpost of a military area at Quetta’s Kuch Mur neighborhood at 5.15 p.m. (local time).
Moments after the first blast, another bomber blew himself up when the army and civilians were shifting the victims of the first attack, he added.
No group claimed responsibility for the attacks. But such attacks are blamed on militants and anti-government nationalists. Earlier, local TV reports had put the death toll at 11.
