05 Jan, 2011

A bomb blast tore through a school bus in Turbat on Tuesday, wounding at least five children, officials said. The bus was taking more than 30 children of paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) fathers to a school in Turbat town, near the Iranian border, police and military officials said. A remote-controlled bomb exploded when the bus neared Ata Shad College, an FC spokesman told AFP.
"Five children were wounded, three of them are in a serious condition," he said. Police said more than a dozen children, aged eight to 12 years, were wounded but most of them were discharged after receiving first aid at hospital. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
