Bomb attack on train kills two

Two people were killed and a further 10 injured when a bomb exploded on railway tracks early Wednesday, police officials said. The explosion, which caused two of the train's cars to derail, occurred in the town of Thul at around 2:00 am, police official Murtaza Mirani told AFP. "Fortunately, the bogies did not overturn as the train was slow, thus averting a bigger catastrophe," Mirani said.
Ashraf Soomro, a local railway official, said that the injured had been taken to a hospital, while the other passengers were being looked after.
