Two civilians were killed and 11 others injured including three children when a car bomb targeted a paramilitary convoy here on Tuesday, officials said. The explosives-packed car went off after vehicles of the paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) passed, FC spokesman Murtaza Baig told AFP.
"The militants targeted two vehicles of FC but the remote-control device exploded after our convoy had passed the parked car," he said. Senior police official Wazir Khan Nasir told AFP: "The victims of the blast were all civilians who were passing from the area. The toll includes one man killed and 12 others wounded including two women and three children."
The hospital staff said that an injured later succumbed to his injuries. "A man who was wounded in the attack in the morning, could not recover from his injuries and died later in the hospital," Muhammad Nawaz, a senior doctor in Quetta hospital told AFP. There was no claim of responsibility.
