QUETTA, April 27: Attacks on election offices seem to have become a daily affair in Balochistan, with three members of the Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) getting injured in a grenade attack on their office in Sibi on Saturday.

According to police, assailants on a motorcycle hurled a grenade at the election office of Muzaffar Nazar Abro, a candidate for PB-21 (Sibi) seat of Balochistan Assembly, in the Liaquat Bazaar area.

The grenade exploded outside the office, injuring three Jamaat workers and causing panic in the area. Abdul Rashid, Mohammad Imran and Abdullah were taken to the Combined Military Hospital.

Attacks on election offices, rallies and houses of candidates have been occurring in different parts of Balochistan since the beginning of election-related activities earlier this month.

The violence began with an attack on an election rally of Sardar Sanaullah Zehri, a PML-N leader, in Khuzdar district in which his son, brother, nephew and two other persons were killed.

Later, the secretary general of the Balochistan National Party-Awami, Asad Baloch, escaped a bomb attack in Panjgur.

A grenade was hurled on the house of National Party leader Dr Malik Baloch in Turbat.

A JUI-F candidate from Kachhi escaped a bomb-and-rocket attack on a rally led by him in the Machh area on Thursday. Six workers were injured. The banned Baloch Liberation Army has claimed responsibility for the attack on the JUI-F rally.
