Explosion, gunfire at Pakistan checkpoint kill 2
 
 
 
 
 
 
 AP - Thursday, August 13
QUETTA, Pakistan - Police in the western Pakistani city of Quetta say a bomb and gunfire attack has targeted a paramilitary checkpoint, killing at least two passers-by and wounding four people, including a police officer.

Senior police officer Mohammad Suleman said a booby-trapped motorcycle exploded Wednesday near a Frontier Corps checkpoint in central Quetta, followed by gunmen on another motorcycle opening fire.
Quetta is the capital of Baluchistan, where ethnic Baluch militants have been waging a low-level insurgency in the impoverished but oil-rich province for decades.
Suleman said Baluch separatists were suspected of having carried out the attack.
