Credit: Reuters/Naseer Ahmed By Naseer Ahmed QUETTA, Pakistan | Tue May 17, 2011 1:12pm EDT QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani security forces shot dead five suspected al Qaeda-linked Chechen militants who had tried to carry out a suicide bombing in the southwestern city of Quetta on Tuesday, police and paramilitary officials said. The would-be bombers included three women, police said. They were killed near a paramilitary checkpoint in Quetta, a city believed to be a base for the Afghan Taliban leadership. One soldier died of wounds after being shot in the incident. It was the second time Pakistani security forces were targeted since al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed in a U.S. raid earlier this month. Quetta police chief Daud Junejo said the attackers were Chechens. He gave no other details. One Russian passport with a picture of a man in a suit was shown to journalists. Five bloodied corpses were laying near a sandbagged machinegun nest at the checkpoint. One of the attackers had a bullet hole in his stomach. Pakistani television showed one of the women waving her hand in the air before she died. "I saw them getting out of a vehicle and the police were chasing them. All of a sudden there was a blast which was followed by an exchange of fire," said witness Zaheer Khan. Pakistan's Taliban, which is close to al Qaeda, has vowed to avenge bin Laden's death and last week, it said its suicide bombers killed 80 people at a paramilitary academy in the northwestern town of Charsadda. The Taliban keep carrying out suicide bombings despite several army offensives on their strongholds along Pakistan's unruly border with Afghanistan. Suicide bombings carried out by women are rare in Pakistan, a strategic U.S. ally which also faces a host of other problems, from a weak economy to growing frustrations over poor government services, power cuts and a poor education system. A police official said at least one of the attackers blew himself up before being shot. Other police officials said the five attackers traveled to Pakistan from Afghanistan, where U.S.-led NATO forces are battling Afghan Taliban insurgents. Pakistan's tribal area along the Afghan border has been described as a global hub for militants, including Arabs and Chechens who are inspired by al Qaeda. Pakistan's commitment to fighting militancy has come under intense scrutiny after it was discovered that bin Laden appeared to have spent years living in a town not far from Islamabad.
