A roadside bomb exploded at an election rally in Sibi on Sunday killing two people, officials said as violence continued ahead of historic polls on Saturday. The remote controlled bomb went off when Sarfraz Dombki, an independent candidate for a provincial assembly seat, was leading a rally in Sibi, 160 kilometres (100 miles) south-east of Quetta, senior administration official Aziz Jamali told AFP.
"The blast hit one of the cars in the convoy in which two of his guards were travelling. Both were fatally wounded," Jamali said. He said Dombki's supporters spotted two men fleeing on a motorbike after the blast. "They opened fire and killed one and captured another who had been wounded in the firing," he said.
"Dombki was unhurt and no one else was wounded in the blast," his cousin Dostain Dombki, who is contesting for a National Assembly seat, told AFP. Police confirmed the incident saying that two hand grenades were recovered from the suspected attacker who had been arrested.
