Bank building hit by blasts

Published April 7, 2006

QUETTA, April 6: Two homemade bombs damaged a state-owned bank building in a remote area of Balochistan on Thursday morning, but no casualties were reported, a senior policeman said.

No one claimed responsibility for the blasts in Wadh, about 400km southeast of Quetta.

“The bombs had been planted by terrorists near the main gate of the Agriculture Development Bank. The blast damaged the structure, but no one was hurt as the bank was closed at the time,” he told The Associated Press by phone.
